ok, my last post on this. i was wondering, should i expect to put on extra fat when adding dextrose to my post workout meal? seems like a lot of sugar...75mg.

It depends on the intensity of your workout, as well as your total calorie balance for the day. If you're not busting your butt in the gym and burning a significant amount of muscle glycogen, then the dextrose should be left in the jar. Also, adding in 75 grms of carbs (~300 cals) on top of a diet that is already too high in carbs or calories may add fat to your bod. But if you're trying to gain muscle and are working hard and are eating right through the rest of the day, then some simple post workout carbs are good.

OK, how does one determin how many cals they're burning during a workout? I, for instance, workout to complete failure for every set. I'm usually in the gym 1 to 1.5 hrs. On non-gym days, I ride the bike for 25 mins.
