MRP help

[SoreArms]

I am going to be making MRP's out of whey and maltodextrim. Adding fat and/or fiber should slow the absorbtion of both way down. The question is, how much of it to add? I will be using about 35g protein and 40g carbs.

I am thinking of using flax seed meal since it has both fat and fiber, otherwise flax oil and psyllium husk.

I had been using oat bran for the carbs but its abit too filling and it puts my fiber intake through the roof.

Any suggestions on using something other than maltodextrim?

Don't use maltodextrin in your MRPs, for god's sakes! Insulin spikes with every meal... ouch.

Use oats instead.

This should take care of the insulin spike. You don't think so?

doesn't matter what you add. the whey will still be absorbed exetremly fast.

adding stuff will just make absorbtion of the ENTIRE meal longer, not the individual ingrediants

Don't hink so bud, adding fiber to whey makes it comparable to casseinate (in absorbtion/digestion time). Adding fat to a high GI carb like maltodextrim, will slow it's abosorbtion time down making it comparable to a moderate GI carb (as if I ate brown rice). Also, most commercially available MRP's (like EAS, which a lot of people tend to like) use dextrose or maltodextrim as a carb source.

that's what I thought too.

but bulldog10 explained it to me different and it sounded correct (and he sounds like he knows what he's talkin 'bout)

either way i guess

It depends on WHEN you want to take than MRP

Postworkout : use maltodextrin + dextrose

Any other time : I'd rather go with smaller GI carbs like oats, oat fiber, wheat fiber (what's wrong with a lot of fiber ???) or oat/wheat/rice cream (moderate GI and less fiber) + good fats (flax seed, walnut/canola/olive oil)

 

[SoreArms]

what's wrong with a lot of fiber ???

a lot of fiber = a lot of trips to the bathroom = sore A**hole

Bran or oatmeal fiber will not save you from an insulin spike caused by maltodextrin. It will lower the severity, but it will still be much, much more than what you would want.

Then why would products like myoplex use malt.? Adding a tbof flax has killed any spike for me.......
