Infinit Mixing Question

brandonsaid

How many scoops of Infinit do you use per water bottle?  6, 8, 10, 12 scoops?  I'm trying to figure out if I can fit 1000 calories in a 26oz or 32oz bottle.

 

Thanks,

Brandon

Actually this might be a better a way to ask the question...

What are the maximum number of scoops for a 22-26oz bottle?

I put 6 scoops (3 servings) in a 24oz. bottle for a total of 750 calories. That was for a HIM.

I have been able to put 12 scoops in a single 24 ounce water bottle for an IM. It gets a little thick, but it works. I put the water in a 4 cup measuring cup with about 16 ounces of water. Add the Infinit, stir with a spoon, pour into your water bottle and if there is any room left at the top, top it off with water. The other thing to think about is what is plan B if all of your nutrition is in one bottle. Had a guy a few years back at AZ with everything in on bottle, hit a spot in the road, his nutrition launched and he never saw it again. Had to switch to on course nutrition and did not have a good rest of the bike.

I spoke with Mike at Infinit about this, and his suggestion was that the max be about 750 calories, as beyond that it gets very, very difficult to calibrate the right amount of sips (ie. You have to take some very unnaturally small sips to space out the calories appropriately).

Also, I ordered a batch of my custom blend with the flavor dialled almost all the way down as low as possible. Then, when you concentrate it, the flavor doesn't overpower you.

I've been using a 3 hour bottle (6 scoops) (250 calories/serving, just over 500mg of sodium/serving,3grams of Protein/serviing)the last two weekends with no issues...I have the flavor dialed down to almost zero.

Not sure I want to push it any more than this. I gulp of feed bottle followed by two gulps of water has been working great.
For me, I'm starting to lean towards having an additional 3 hour bottle in my special needs bag for IMLP. Since I will most likely be over 6 hours for my bike split I will likely grab some perform from the course to make up the difference. Need to practice this during my RRs.

Just remember the more you concentrate the less margin for error you have for also taking in water so it mixes properly in your stomach.

Love the infinit product. I am amazed that it mixes so well. No residue left over after all that powder and a little bit of water.
