Interesting. I expect you've looked into it more than me. I researched it a bit after doing my first 24 and realised I had no clue how much I should eat, nor did my helper. I found the 300 cal number and have latched onto that since. Gs of CHO is better but I find it easier to guestimate how many cals in x. I've used that on all my long TTS and audaxes since and never bonked. Obvs 300 (or 480) is only an average so different people can metabolise more. Ideally I shd experiment to see how I go with more, but never have got round to it.
