I wanna know if it'll blunt the effects of Malto in meal replacements, but no one seems to know......won't MR spike insulin?

 

[Transporter]

yes it will spike. melto has GI of 100
thats why MRP are garbage

 

[JKurz1]

come on bra.....sometimes they are essential.....will rala counter the spike?

Can you explain this? As I said recently, the whole GI thing is overplayed. Far more relevant is the Glycemic Load (GL) of each serving. The GL takes into account the GI as well as the amount of carbs per serving. The GL is the GI value multiplied by the actual number of carbs per serving. The carbs in a good MRP will typically provide a GL of around 1300, -roughly the equivalent to half a banana or less than half a cup of low GI brown rice!

Also, an insulin spike of not too excessive duration will decrease protein degradation and improve protein retention, i.e. improve anabolism.

myoplex is a mid-morning staple for me..........but, what you said makes sense...........is there a GL scale?

 

[FatRat]

The GL is the GI value multiplied by the actual number of carbs per serving.

 

[JKurz1]

I mean what's high and what's not, etc......level wise....1300, high?

 

[FatRat]

Like I said in my post, 1300 is roughly the equivalent to half a banana or less than half a cup of low GI brown rice. It is going to depend on how your body responds to that load. I would suspect that that amount is not going to be a problem.

I would reiterate this though:

...an insulin spike of not too excessive duration will decrease protein degradation and improve protein retention, i.e. improve anabolism.

according to mendosa, met rx has a gi of 55

 

[JKurz1]
