check out the nutritional contents on the back of your table sugar package..... no carbs or cals. Not gonna do the job of dextrose.

ummm..sugar def. has cals., which all come from carbs. 1 tsp. of table sugar is bout 15 cals..4g. of sugar. but table sugar isn't as good as malto and dex. because it is half fructose which refills liver glycogen and won't be as helpful for your muscles.

read this. It's a long read but it's really worth it.

is a banana and whey right after you workout and then a can of tuna with oatmeal about an hour to an hour and a half later good?

No. Banana's are rich in fructose, which is primarily used to fill liver glucogen, NOT muscle glycogen. A banana post workout is like sucking a tit through a sweater.

try powdered gatorade it has dextrose and maltodextrin in it but it costs a pretty penny. i would just get dextrose and malto by itself.
