Quick question about measuring.

[HS Lifter]

Ok i just got some dextrose.

The scooper in my protein tub holds 31 grams of whey protein.

Can i use that scooper for dextrose?

Meaning if i want 60 grams of dextrose I would have to put 2 scoops?

Because I just put 2 scoops for a preworkout shake and it seems like a shitload of dextrose lol

whey is light and air filled. while dex is much denser and easily compressed. So my suggestion would be to get youself a kitchen gm scale they are VERY cheap.

It's pretty easy, really. Here's how they do it in the medical profession-

Bend it down (while fully erect), until it is parallel with the floor. Press the ruler or tape measure against the pelvic bone (on the top, not the underside)and measure to the tip. Make sure that you view the resulting measurement straight on, and not at an angle, to avoid parallax error.

Hope I helped.

I dont think i have any measuring cups laying around.

So since the protein is air filled while the dextrose is more dense, then probably the 31 grap whey scooper will hold about 45 grams of dextrose?

 

[HS Lifter]

Well its not a bottle.

Its a big ass 25 lb sack of dextrose. And i Dont think it has any of that info on it.

 

[HS Lifter]

YEah your right.

Im gonna call/search the bag for info.

 

[HS Lifter]

Well i looked on the bag no info on serving size or anything and there is a number but its a long distance call.

So if i were to buy one of those scales, would that work?

And all I want is around 50 grams(give or take 5 grams) before and after workout, so i figure using the 31 gram protein scooper would set me around 40-45?

Ahh this sucks lol
