Sugar will slow down the process of over nutrients being digested. So the protein you are getting out of it will just come back outs as sweat and poop.
OMG you are a genius, aren't you? Gelatin is not sugar. Its actually protein. Its made from boiling animals bones (and other bits). Its basically connective tissue. You are thinking of Jello, which I think is actually agar based these days (made from seaweed proteins) and sugar.

How does sugar slow down the process of "over" (other?) nutrients being digested? Hmmm, Dr. Nutrition? Sugars, especially simple sugars, are metabolized more rapidly, but even if it did slow down digestion some how, you're still going to digest. Then I'm totally mystified by the sweating out protein. I've never heard of people sweating protein. You sweat out electrolytes, but protein? And sweating protein because it has sugar and/or gelatin in it? That is new physiology to me. And pooping out protein? I imagine some amount of protein could go unprocessed. Maybe. But why would you exrete protein because you ate sugar? Seriously, have you actually studied sports nutrition or do you just make this all up?
