Move over Kryptonite – here comes Ambronite, the world’s first “real food” super meal that reportedly fulfills daily nutrition recommendations in two minutes or less. It meets the daily recommendations for energy, protein, vitamins and micronutrients, and is also packed with natural phytonutrients, antioxidants and healthy fatty acids.
Its developers are now looking for funding via Indiegogo and recently launched a crowd funding campaign.
Fitness apps are a great way to help keep you motivated. But those apps are often one-sided, and only track your steps, your exercise, or your calorie intake. Now Wahoo Fitness and MyFitnessPal have joined forces to combine some of those elements.
Wahoo Fitness devices and apps such as the Blue HR heart rate monitor, RFLKT bike computer and Balance Bluetooth Smartphone Scale can now get the calorie data from MyFitnessPal. The MyFitnessPal app is a free app that lets you track calories on its website and app by entering the food you eat. The app stores the foods you eat on a regular basis so it’s a matter of clicking on the box next to that food, such as toast. It also makes it easy to add foods on a one-off or regular rotation basis.
“Accurate calorie count and instant weight feedback is instrumental in reaching your fitness goals,” says Chip Hawkins, CEO of Wahoo Fitness, in a company statement. “With Thanksgiving and the rest of the holiday season, it’s more important than ever to stay on track. Everyone is pointlessly counting steps and inaccurately counting calories, with Wahoo’s hardware the MyFitnessPal community will not only be generating more precise data, but they will be generating the usable data, the data that actually matters when you’re tracking your results and working hard to reach your goals.”

We all know about Five Hour Energy Drink and other energy shots. Now Body Glove has thrown its neoprene-fitted hand into the ring. Body Glove has released Body Glove Surge, an all natural energy shot.
The drink is made with high antioxidant fruits, protein and green tea. Body Glove boasts that Surge reduces fatigue; increases alertness; enhances mental concentration and extends endurance as well as quickens reaction time. Sports scientist Dr. Robert Portman worked with Body Glove to develop Surge.
We spend so much time worrying about how much electrolyte drinks, chews and other nutrition we’re consuming when we exercise, but still don’t quite know when we have the right mix. Fuelstrip is a strip that tests sweat to help athletes analyze and detect levels of fuel depletion. The strip helps figure out when you need to guzzle some more drink or down another chew or two in order to balance out your hydration and electrolyte levels.

Kids are as active as you are, maybe even more. But their nutrition requirements are different. So giving them an adult-size nutrition bar might be overkill, and push them over the daily recommended calorie and fat intakes for the day. Honey Stinger is addressing this need with Kids’ versions of their popular Organic Waffles and Organic Chews. Continue reading Interbike 2013: Kids Feel the Honey Stinger
Hydration is important. We know that. There’s a number of electrolyte drinks and products on the market, and ORAL I.V. has just joined the ranks. This product has actually made its way up the ranks. It was first released in the military and law enforcement community and has been used by SEALS, Force Recon Marines and SWAT teams, among other units.
ORAL I.V. comes in a liquid vial with crystalloid electrolytes dissolved in purified water. It doesn’t contain sugars, stimulants or artificial ingredients. It just contains a concentrated form of the minerals you need to stay hydrated. Of course this tiny vial is no substitute for water. You should continue to drink water before, during and after workout. But the ORAL I.V. helps boost the effectiveness of the water, to keep hydration levels up.
A pack of four 15 mL vials costs $11.99
After a long ride you may feel like you’ve earned a treat. Maybe you’ve burned enough calories for an ice cream even. One creamery, the Peddler’s Creamery in Los Angeles, makes sure you’ve earned those calories. The ice cream shop makes artisan bicycle-churned organic dairy and non-dairy ice cream. Continue reading Churning for Ice Cream
BlenderBottle has a new container. This one doesn’t mix liquids. The GoStak is a stackable bottle for (mostly) dry goods. We say bottle, because each component is a canister, about the footprint of most bottles – though BlenderBottle says there will be a larger diameter system available later this year. Continue reading GoStak Your Snack

What is the best way to stay fit? We think not getting out of shape in the first place. And the best way to lose weight is not to put in on. One way to better manage weight gain can be better managing how much you eat. There are endless diets, scales but now the developers of the HAPIfork have another thought.
At CES they showed off the digital fork that was developed for clinical use to encourage slower eating, and thus giving the body time to digest and feel full from more moderate food intake. There is even a soup spoon attachment as well. Video after the jump
