Get Rowntrees to sponsor you doing a long bike ride

Must say I'm more of a cherry drops person myself, though I don't think I could down two or three packets of them :rotfl:

Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles arr 350 calories per tube. Therefore 1050 calories for 3. This will make a huge difference to your overal diet/weightloss etc.

See if you can ween yourself onto something sugar free.

No there is not - MFP says 184 per tube!

Yes - mango is still bad, but things like that are a more sustained release of carbs than quick sugary energy drinks. Bananas are pretty good too (and no tooth problems associated), but a bit bulkier, and peeling one on the road is quite a trick!

Interesting!
