There are so many choices when it comes to energy products. I am not very familiar with them. Does anyone have advice as to what type would be most suited for the following situation? I would like something for when I'm doing a lot of running/crawling with my basic gear on for the Army - not full battle rattle, but about 50 lbs added to me. I don't want caffeine highs. My body doesn't like caffeine much, and I need to be able to have a steady hand still. I'm an expert marksman and my unit still needs to utilize me as such when training or in theater. Thank you in advance for any advice you offer.

the caffeine used is a gren tea extract = slower burning and not the tremendous crash at the end... leave that for the amphetamine caffeine out there. ask for Roks to get the protein version

I would be careful with the Shot Blocks and other similar products as I've found they tend to melt in warm temperatures. This is one of the reasons I use GU energy gels. The shot blocks or energy gels are good for replacing electrolytes that you loose when sweating. Use about a serving an hour depending on your level of activity. As Bryan mentioned, avoid the flavors with caffeine. If weight is a concern, consider Endurolyte tablets from Hammer Nutrition. For longer missions make sure you are replenishing your protein with a Cliff Bar or other similar energy bar.

I would recommend the Clif Shots and Shot Bloks because they are effective, quick, and actually taste good. I use them for cycling and climbing. Be sure not to get any with caffeine (Cola, and Espresso flavors as far as i know). Hope this helps and thanks for being on that wall for us.
