| How to Use the Product Tables:
The foundation of RaceDayNutrition.com is the dynamic database of performance nutrition products. Access one of the product tables from the Nutritional Products drop-down menu.
- The "Bars" table contains products typically referred to as bars. Products in this table are distinguished by their ability to hold their shape. Additional products listed in the "Bars" table are referred to as nuggets, bites, pieces, etc.
- The "Drinks" table contains all of the fluid and powder-mix drinks. Currently, all types of drinks are listed in this table. This includes drinks categorized for energy, hydration, and meal replacement. All drinks have been converted to 8 oz. serving sizes for the simplicity of comparing products side by side.
- The "Gels"
table contains products typically
billed as quick energy packets. Gels usually have the consistency
of honey, are high in sugar, and are packaged for on-the-move
convenience.
- The "Supplements"
table contains products
that are typically available in tablet form. You will only
find over-the-counter products in this section. Because
RaceDayNutrition.com is geared toward the endurance athlete,
you will not find bodybuilding or weightlifting products
here. As always, the focus of this site is on the products
used by participants in aerobic-intensive activities. Illegal
performance enhancers, or stimulants will not be listed.
You may choose which three nutritional attributes you would like to compare side-by-side. Simply choose from one of nearly 50 attributes using the drop-down box in the column headers. Click on any column header to sort the data in an ascending order. Click again and the data will sort in a descending order.
As always, if you know of a product that is not listed
on RaceDayNutrition.com, please let us know by emailing
service@RaceDayNutrition.com.

How the Product Ratings Work:
The purpose of the "Product Rating" feature of
RaceDayNutrition.com is to give visitors an idea of the
current consumer's opinion of a product. The consumer information
about a product is collected in the form of a single numeric
value as well as messages posted by registered visitors.
Attributes that may be considered in reviewing a product
may include, but are not limited to:
- Taste
- Value
- Perceived Nutritional Performance
- Convenience and Packaging
- Durability
The numeric ratings are averaged for each product and displayed
in the database. Also included with the rating is the number
of reviews submitted for that particular product. This will
help discern the difference between a product with an average
rating of 3.0 with 80 reviews and a product with an average
rating of 3.0 with only 8 reviews.
To prevent erroneous ratings, only one review per product
is allowed for each registered email address. Registered users
can edit their postings and product ratings.
