MALTODEXTRIN bad choice!

[Transporter]

MALTODEXTRIN is great after work out. it has GI 100.
the same as dextrose. only difference is that MALTODEXTRIN is complex carb!
it spikes the blood sugar very well after workout but during the day avoid it!

all MRP on the market have MALTODEXTRIN in it as carbs.
wow this is the same when u would add sugar to protein and u call it meal replecement.

the better choice for people on balanced diet is not to use
MRP and instead mix protein with oatmeal or eat whole wheat bread as a carb source.


only my 2 cents!

i pretty much agree there bro...unless your not trying to cut hard.

complex carbs have more complex glucose chains and are as a result.. harder to break down. B-cuz of this, polysaccharides in general take longer to break down. How is maltodex a complex carb if it's gi is 100?

thanks for the info, i rarely use mrps and do the homeade oats+whey combo for mrps before training but lets say post workout, maybe your second meal after a workout, how bad is an MRP?

also some mrps containt partially hydrogenated oils and corn syrups which i think's a nono

as a second postworkout meal i would eat chicken and brown rice.

stay away from MRP , save money - u can mix oats and caseinate/whey protein!

yeah good advice.

I have a box of mrps at home just incase i need them say im going away on a long drive or out for the weekend but apart from that i dont use em.

Thats what I use, I just read the back of the two sachets that are in my bin at the moment!!!

Whey + oats is a great combo. You can always toss the oats in a blender or coffee grinder and grind them down to a powder if you need to carry them with you to use them in a shaker cup with your whey.

I noticed Splenda has malto- in it. Why does it say "0" carbs on the label?

 

[kidvilla]

because a typical serving wouldn't even provide a quarter gram of maltodextrin ... as a matter of fact, dextrose and maltodextrin are popular "fillers" as they aren't too sweet (in terms of density) but add sweetness wherever it may be helpful

 

[JKurz1]

so, dorians are ok?????

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

well it has malto in it JKurz
but it's 20g of carbs altogether and usually the GI of mrps is around 50-60

 

[kidvilla]

my biggest problem with Maltodextrin and its labeling is that the FDA is wishy washy on whether or not it can be labeled as a "sugar" because many if not most "healthy" snacks will label Maltodextrins as anything but sugars.....

the rule is that they definitely are sugars (the FDA determines this by fiber content, of which MD has none), so this is why most "healthy" foods with MD will have carbs around 30g yet the sugar, fiber (and occasionally sugar alcohol) won't add up to the 30 grams ....

typically, this is the Maltodextrin, and i for one, count it as a sugar...

-its fermentable (it raises insulin, as evidenced by its GI)
-it lacks fiber
-it causes gas in large amounts (common in semi-complex carbohydrates)

so be careful when reading labels.... if the FDA were gestapo, it wuld definitely be labeled as a sugar, but i've yet to see a "healthy" supplement admit their maltodextrin content was a sugar..... personally, i avoid it because i am one of those few who gets gas from it, so i prefer to make my own shakes and use dextrose/glucose as it is the most highly digestible carb on the planet (of course, this is only useful if you need a high-GI meal, like when you just got off a CKD or Atkins diet, otherwise, you might instead prefer to mix it with oats and sweeten it with stevia or spenda)

 

[JKurz1]

so, pop a r-ala first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! settled.

 

[JKurz1]

will that work??????

 

[JKurz1]

what did we decide on this issue?????

 

[JKurz1]

no response????????????????

I use Dextrose and Protein after a work-out with 500mg of ALA and 15mg of Vanadyl Sulfate. 1.5 hours later I eat another meal with carbs and protein in equal ratios. Seems to work like a charm for me.
