carbs ok right after a workout?

[1_more_rep]

post workout you need carbs such as dextrose at least 90g and a fast releasing protein such as Whey orefer. 50g

right now i'm coming home from the gym and usually taking 3 egg whites + a 22g protein shake (once this batch of protein is done...i'm definitely gettin some 45g/shake protein instead of this 22g crap)

i still have to go to the store and try to find dextrose...i just hope i can find it and not have to order the stuff online...i'm gonna check the market and GNC if either of them have it...if not are there any other local stores that would have it?

I bought a huge vat of Carb up (maltodextrin) cost was $15, I mix it with my protein mix on a 1-1 ration, I get 27 g of each immediatly post-workout and eat a meal with protein and complex carbs within the next 90 minutes.

Protein Is Worthless From Everything I've Read W/o That Carb Shuttle...when I First Cut, I Tried To Nix The Carbs, Got Me No Where Very Fast.

You can simply add 50g of protein and 30g of dextrose and 30g of maltodextrin to your PWO Shake. It works wonders

The way I did it bro is find something else that is powder in your house and see how many grams a serving it is, I used some crystal light that I had and it was like 19g a scoop so I just add about 1 or 1/5 of my malto and dextrose to my protein shake. This was the fastest way I came up with to make it work.

the way i did it is according to the lable for each 1/2 cup is 80grams
so 1/2 = is 40 g
1/4 cup is 20 grams now goal is 30 grams so measure a 1/4 cup and
then an 1/8 cup comes out to around 30 grams
now if u dont want ot measure exactly each time
what i did was poured it into a protine scoop and marked it
witch it was half a scoop so i put
3 scoops protine = 60 grams
1/2 scoop dextrose 30 g
1/2 scoop malto 30 g now i have a preety acurate messurement

but this is just me

do you have a scale? a digital scale (worth maybe 20US$ is an investment when you are cutting).

if not, a measuring tablespoon (leveled) of dextrose is about 12.5 grs

a heaped (not huge though) measuring tablespoon of maltodextrine is abnout 10grs (lighter than dextrose)
