hippy
I'm sure it varies person to person - I've got a sample size of 1 here. But I'd not put hard limits on anything like that. It was only recently the US (I think) updated their guidelines on athlete carb intake to 60g/hr (even though much more is possible with different carb types).
One interesting thing is that body shape has little impact on ability to process carbs - a guy like me could use less than a 50kg woman. It's very individual.
Once I get my British service station feeding down I'm going to have to look at what's commonly available in US service stations and then maybe try some of that. Should be interesting experiment :)
