yep your math is correct. But I think the grams of protein and grams of dextrose are pretty even as far as how much room they take up, so usually I put in about 2 scoops of whey, and about 2 scoops of dextrose (using the whey scoop) and I think I did the math a while ago and it seemed to work out good. And it's a heck of a lot quicker than measuring 18 times :)

I feel you on that one! :lol: 18 times seems like a b%tch to do all the time. I'm going to see what it comes out to. That means a 2 pound bag of dex goes pretty quick then huh?

2 scoops from your whey scooper comes out to 1/2 cup which is about 75 grams of carbs.

dont mean to jump on your thread but if i take it 75 grams of carbs from dex and i need 100 grams now, would adding a banana get me there?

thats no good bro. .b/c the carbs from fruit go to repair liver stores. . while the carbs in Dextrose repair muscle glycogen. . .so add more Dex if you wanna to 100:lift:
