How costs are calculated

Cost per serving = package price ÷ usable servings. Cost for an equal carbohydrate amount = cost per serving × comparison grams ÷ carbohydrate per serving. This page does not fetch prices or sell products.

How to use the result

Compare what you pay for a serving you'll actually use. The price for an equal amount of carbohydrate makes it easier to compare something like a gel with a bag of sweets. Factor in anything you tend to leave behind or throw away.

Follow any advice from your healthcare team about how much to drink, eat or take during exercise.
