How much dextrose should you intake in post workout shake?

How much you wonder..
I look at it this way:
If you eat a big carb meal pre workout like I do(breakfast about 100g of carbs) then you will not need as much post workout, but then again, if muscle growth are the number one issue take 50-60 for your bw, then one hour later eat a medium high carb meal with 80-100g carbs.

It also depends how you workout. I've noticed if I'm going for a few higher reps and more sets I really need the fast carbs post workout. If I train hard low intense for 30-40 minutes I do not feel same "need" for carbs post workout.

I think people should consider eating 3 big carb meals per workout day if mucle growth are your nr one goal. High carb pre and post workout, then high carbs again 1-2 hours after your post wokrout drink.

I work out in the morning so for me this has improved everything for me:
Pre workout: 100g medium high GI carbs with 50g protein
Post workout drink: 50g dextros, 30g from mashed potatoes with 45g Whey
post workout meal(1 hour after my drink): 100-120g medium high carbs with 60-70g protein from meat.

I always include 5g creatin pre workout, 5-10g post. C-vitamine 500mg pre and post. ALA 750mg pre, 500mg post, 1g post meal
