Table notes
Nutrients per 600 mL From the figures provided on the nutrition information panel.
Bottle sizes and serve sizes vary so we’ve used 600 mL (the most common bottle size) as a basis for comparison.
Minutes of jogging fuelled per 600 mL We’ve estimated for how long you’d have to jog to use the energy (kilojoules) supplied by 600 mL of sports drink if you’re a budding young male athlete of 12 years, a woman weighing 60 kg or a man weighing 70 kg. These are average values as individuals vary in their rates of energy expenditure.
Price per bottle Based on prices we paid in Sydney in May 2008.
