General

Where'd the name "Carbs Fuel" come from?

A part of our mission is to illustrate how simple fueling for endurance activities should be. We wanted a name that conveyed that message; Carbs Fuel seemed as simple as it gets.

Let's Keep Going

No matter how epic the activity, with proper fueling, you'll look around at your friends and say "Let's keep going".

What does your logo mean?

The Carbs Fuel logo mark seeks to reflect the forward momentum and movement created by exceptional fueling, and is inspired by the 2:1 glucose:fructose formula.

Are carbohydrates bad for you?

As with most things, the context depends.

If you're sitting on the couch watching TV, probably.

If you're participating in prolonged, strenuous activity, carbohydrates are what your body needs to optimally perform.

Simple carbohydrates are the easiest and quickest form of nutrition for your body to use as fuel.

Why would I eat simple sugar and not whole foods during exercise?

Because of the word before sugar, SIMPLE!

Whole foods are great for you, but they have additional nutrients like fiber, protein, and fat. Those nutrients are great for a balanced diet, but during exercise they can slow digestion and delivery of the much-needed carbohydrates. 

Simple sugars, aka carbohydrates, are what your body needs to fuel your activity.
