I play hockey at night and the last 5 games have all been of Friday and Saturdays so I have been having a power bar and a Mt. Dew about an hour before games and have noticed that I seem to have more energy and have had a overall better season than seasons past. I'm not saying that the 2 are related but why mess with a good thing.

Tonight is our first weekday game and I don't want to be up all night so I am going to skip the Mt. Dew and just go for the powerbar. but I can't find anywhere if they are loaded with caffiene. If they are do Clif bars or some other bar?

Ummmm...... uhhhhh..............

Mountain Dew?

Caffeine (mg)
Red Bull (8.2 oz) 80.0
Jolt 71.2
Pepsi One 55.5
Mountain Dew 55.0
Mountain Dew Code Red 55.0
Diet Mountain Dew 55.0



Edit: Powerbar states on their webiste:

Caffeine: Caffeine can help increase mental alertness. Our Cappuccino flavor contains approximately 25mg of caffeine (equivalent to about 8 oz. of soda or 4 oz. of coffee). Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut Butter contain approximately 15mg of caffeine.

I believe only their cappuccino flavored bars have caffeine.

cliff bar makes some with caffeine but i dunno how much

So 15 mg I think I can handle but 70mg is probably a little to much for a 11pm game since I would like to be asleep by 2.

Mountain Dew is a performance enhancing drug!

As an aside... does the UCI or NORBA (or any other sanctioning bodies) consider caffiene to be performance enhancing? Do they test for it?
