If you want to take a set amount of salted pretzels on a training run without portioning them out yourself, you can choose a designated 40 g on-the-go format or a multipack of individual 40 g packs; Lorenz lists both formats for Saltletts Mini Brezel. Larger bags and tubs are suitable for portioning yourself, but you’ll need to plan the amount and how to carry it. The right amount also depends on the duration and intensity of your run, as well as your individual tolerance.
If you want to pack a set amount without weighing it out, look for clearly labelled individual packs. According to its product information, Lorenz offers Saltletts Mini Brezel in a 40 g on-the-go format and a 3 × 40 g multipack.
If you prepare your own portions for several training sessions, you can use a larger bag or tub as a supply. You decide how much to take on each run.
If there are ingredients you need to avoid, read the information on the specific pack you’re buying. For the salted pretzels described here, wheat and the relevant warnings about possible traces are particularly important.
First decide whether you want a ready-packed portion for your run or would rather portion it out yourself before training. Then check the nutritional information and ingredients on the pack you’ve chosen. A set pack size doesn’t tell you how much to snack on during your run.
| Criteria | What to check when buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Set portion | Is each portion individually wrapped? Lorenz lists a 40 g on-the-go format and a 3 × 40 g multipack for Saltletts Mini Brezel; the nutritional information on the pack you choose can help you plan the amount. | If I don’t want to take an amount from a larger bag while out and about, an individually wrapped portion is essential. Around 50% of consumers put this need first. |
| Portioning it yourself | What pack size are you buying, and how will you portion out the amount you’re planning to take, keeping it dry and securely packed? | Anyone preparing small amounts for several runs will want to divide up their supply flexibly. For around 30% of consumers, this is the top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and any warnings about possible traces on the specific pack. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the labelling on my pack determines what I choose, not just the portion format. Around 20% of consumers prioritise these checks. |
A 250 g bag of salted pretzels doesn’t contain a set portion for an individual training run. With a larger bag, it’s up to you to decide how much to take.
Decide on your portion before the run and pack it securely to keep it dry while you’re out. If you don’t want to portion it yourself, look specifically for individually wrapped units.
You may need an extra small container or bag to portion it out.
The salt content of a snack doesn’t determine how much fluid you need during a run. The German Nutrition Society points out that drinking too little or too much can both be harmful.
Plan your snacks and drinks separately, taking into account the duration and intensity of your run and what you’ve learnt from similar training sessions.
Ingredients and warnings about possible traces can vary between pack variants. So a familiar product name doesn’t replace checking the information on the pack you’re actually buying.
Before buying, check the ingredients and allergen information for the specific variant, particularly if you need to avoid certain ingredients.
According to the German Nutrition Society, the depletion of carbohydrate stores depends, among other things, on the duration and intensity of exercise. Pack size alone therefore doesn’t determine the right fuelling plan for every training run.
Check the nutritional information on the pack you’ve chosen and try your planned snack amount during similar training runs.
