If you believe what you see on the TV  ( in the recent BBC programme about carbs ) it is possible to get the benefit of the sport drink on your performance but not take in the Carbs . What you do is swill your mouth for 10 seconds part way through your exercise (they did it twice in a 30 minute static bike session )and spit out the drink and do not swallow but drink water to keep up hydration. Apparently your body get fooled into giving you the performance of the sports drink without the calories. Might be worth a try to see if it works for you. As you want to keep weight up  I would also suggest  the idea of increasing fats if you like something olives and or nuts might be worth considering as those will give you calories without many carbs.</p></blockquote><p></p>
