I bought a digital scale (0,1 gr accuracy) and then measure how many grams I need. I then transfer the quantity to a spoon and see how much it is...
meaning, I measure all my food once (the first time only) and then write down how does that translates to spoons or cups...
to answer your question: Spoons... 1 spoon is about 11 grs.
BY the way, Dextrose is much heavier than maltodextrine... I would recommend everybody to buy a cheap digital scale so you can remove the guessing. Makes life much easier (mine was like 20 bucks)

yep, a tbspoon.
btw, since dextrose is 100% carbs, if 1 tbspoon is 11 grs, there is no way that "1.25tbs = 4g of carbs.". Only way is that your dextrose is much lighter than mine (how could that be), the tablespoon of the people making your dextrose are for midgets or they simply fcked up the label (likely)
each gram of weight is 1 gram of carbs if we are talking pure dextrose...
is the same slimfast rule: 1 gram slimfat= 1 gram fat ass.
(Damn I read so many replies of you flaming people for drinking slim fast... it got funny at a point..)

The formula I use is from an ABCbodybuilding article on PWO nutrition.
I quote:
" As a general rule, on a bulk-up plan the amount of carbs to consume following a hardcore weight training session is five grams of carbs per every 10 pounds of body weight.
During a bulking phase I recommend consuming half the amount of protein in grams as you did carbs in grams"
They also recommend you divide your carbs in 50% maltodextrine and 50% dextrose. Also, your PWO shake should reflect the intensity of the work out and the size of the muscle group trained (i.e you should need more carbs after training back or legs and less after training triceps or biceps)
so:
Carbs grs: Weight Lbs/10*5
tbspoons: Carbs grs/4
there you have it... if you are using also maltodex, further divide by 2 and complete with maltodex.
hope it helps.
BTW, the article is titled "The Window of Opportunity" and is worth reading.
