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!

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.
