Dextrose Post Workout?

[Leviathan]

Right now my post-workout shake is 40g (2 scoops) of optimum Whey protein, and 1 TSP of flax.

I want to add some Dextrose, but how much, and what kind is the best (links)?

There also seems to be some debate on whether or not fat should be in the post workout shake? Why?

because you want your muscles to have it right away and fat will slow down the absorption of the protein. Here is alink where you can get the Dextrose:

dump the flax post workout, and just add the dextrose, its much more beneficial that way. use about 1/3 cup which is about 75 grams of carbs. The best deal is at supplement direct, 10lbs of dextrose for $10

actualy 1/3c is about 55g carbs, SD's labeling is wrong.

10lb @ www.burkecandy.com is 6$

dam $6 is a hell of a deal. the fda lists 205grams of carbs/sugars per 1cup i believe

Well, SD states on their labeling trhat 1/3c weighs 80g and has 75g carbs. Dextrose has about the same amount of carbs in it as it's weight. Now if you weigh 1/3c, you'll find that it only weighs in around 55g.....so it's impossible for something to have 75g carbs and only weigh 55g.

I weighed 1/2c and it weighs close to 80g.

BTW, SD was contacted about thier labeling and they said something like yeah it could be wrong. There's a bunch of threads on EF about this.

Where did you read that the fda lists 205grams of carbs/sugars per 1cup ?

thank you JG, good info to have, if thats the case ive been a little off for a while now, that makes sense, because thats the same thing i read where the amount of weight in it is idential to carbs. I got my info on that from a buddy who works at a health store, he has books and manuals on all foods, supplements, etc. and those were the figures taken directly - let me call him in a bit and i can get a link to the fda site that he also gets the info on and ill try to post that here later on. thanks again

can you take dextrose even when you're cutting?

GREED is a terrible thing. it`s now $11.00. I`m sure they were happy selling it for $6 , now that they have an influx of trainees buying this stuff they up the price??? wtf

 

[tbone1227]

yo killa, hell yeah, you should be taking it post workout, its the one time your body can utilize it and not store it, and your muscles will need it badly as to not over train, and not lose too much muscle

Is there any candy or natural food that contains dextrose?

 

[bigp3]

no fats PW,,,, you want the shit to hit your blood stream as fast as possible here is my post workout shake

3 scoops whey isolate 76 g protein
1/3 cup dextrose (if my memory serves me) roughly 75 g carbs
20 g of glutamine
10 g of creatine
Sometimes I throw in some nesquick for flavor and bump back the dextrose to keep the carbs in the same neighborhood,,, yum yum


Works like a champ


cant wait to get of this damn keto and have my shakes again

There are foods that are naturally high in dextrose though I can't think of many off hand. I think smarties are high in dextrose as are sweet tarts. I remember some TKD guys raving about them. I've found some non-fat ice cream, which I currently use post workout, that is high in maltodextrin. Only thing I'm not sure is if the maltodextrin is used for filler or sweetness. At any rate as long as you're not getting fructose I think most other sugars do just fine. Some cereals like corn flakes have a higher GI rating than dextrose so just do some research. While dieting I like to eat as much real food as possible so getting that many carbs in shake form is a waste to me. While bulking it's fine since you're pounding down the food and probably need an easy way to get calories.
