What do you think of this stuff for IM nutrition?

http://getbuf.com/store/champion/hw_gainer_900.htm

2 bottles with 4 scoops each should give 2500 cals. More than enough for the whole bike leg. It contains medium chaim triglycerides which they claim spare muscle glycogen. The main carbohydrate is malodextrin. Is this good or bad? 4 scoops in 24oz water = 1260cals with 206gms carb, 70gm protein, and 17gm fat. 1 bottle of this to start and another in the specail needs bag. Then just pick up water on the course. Anybody using this stuff or stuff like it?

I’m pretty familar with this product. Used to sell a lot of it. My biggest concern for IM would be the amount of protein per serving. I would definitely try it in training.

Also, I remember it has a pretty strong taste. Some may like that, some may not. I know for me personally, a strong chocolate or vanilla flavored milk shake that was warm 5 hours into a race would make me sick.

Hope this helps
