dextrose&maltodextrin Post Workout?

[fatdog]

Hey what do you guys think about adding dextrose & maltodextrin to my MM post work out? What do you guys think, huh?

MM?

maltodextrin + dextrose + whey protein is the "classic" post workout drink, if that's what you mean.

I was going to add it to my Muscle milk..

 

[kethnaab]

muscle milk?

as in, the stuff that is great for a meal replacement because it's high in fats?

no fats postworkout brohim.

straight high glycemic carbs and whey for immediately postworkout

save the muscle milk for an hour AFTER your fat-free high GI stuff postworkout.

Yeah, high fat and high sugar don't go together well. Your post workout shake should not have high fat. Just as a rule of thumb sugar + fat =

if you like a shake preworkout id use the muscle milk then.

ya , you want to limit your fat intake PW.. your muscles will soak up everything (including fat) after working out... i just use dex and whey ( when i have money to buy them lol) and sometimes glut and creatine.

Help! I ran out of dextrose! My PWO shake usually consists of 46g protein, 46g maltodextrin, and 46g dextrose.

I can't get any more for ~1 week. Anything I can use as a replacement? Will I be ok without it?

I am looking more to find a quick replacement rather then go without it.

Just use malto! You will be fine.

You could go to any drug store and get glucose tablets if you absolutely have to have dextrose.

Well if I will be ok, then I can wait. I was under the impression the dextrose was needed for the insulin spike. (sorry for the hijack)
