TORQ Pre-Race & Climb-Day Meal - Instant Pasta Pouch (100g Carbs)

The TORQ Pre-Race & Climb-Day Meal is a hot instant pasta pouch for the morning of your race, competition or big climbing day. It gives you 100g of carbohydrate and 25g of protein in a light, easy-to-digest meal, so you start fuelled rather than full.

It uses TORQ's 4:1 carb-to-protein formulation with multiple-transportable carbohydrates and under 3g of fat. Add hot water, wait about 10 minutes and eat from the pouch, which makes it handy for early starts in race accommodation, at a campsite or at a venue with no kitchen. TORQ suggests eating it three to four hours before activity where practical, and at least 1.5 hours before you start. Practise with it before ordinary training sessions or climbing days before relying on it for an important event.
