Fruits as post workout carbs

[kentucky]

actually I thought gatorade has fructose and sucrose in it. Which would be like eating grape juice with sugar in it.


Powerade has some maltodextrin in it but also has high fructose corn syrup.



Dextrose only costs about 2 dollars per pound. I bought an 11 pound bucket the other day, for 10 dollars.

any more info is appreciated.

Thanks

You could eat some 'shock tarts', they are made with dextrose.

Simple sugars are the way to go post workout. You need to replace your glycogen storage and fruits work very well. I often eat an apple in the middle of my leg work out just to get through it.

BigAragorn,

THis is where you are wrong bro. People have to get something straight here so that they wont get raped! DO NOT buy dextrose from a supplement shop. Many are starting to sell this now as a "nutritional supplement" and are jacking the price up. Have you every heard of someone jacking the price up of sugar? Do not be fooled by this. DO NOT buy your dextrose from pre-mix gatorade. This is good, but still expensive.

Dextrose = Corn sugar. Go to any local Wine Kitz store and and wine selling accessories store, and you can literally buy pounds of this stuff for dollars. It is cheap. Mix it with some kool-aid packets for flavoring. That is all you need. This is one of the cheapest supplements you can buy.
