maltrodextrin

ok

i am wondering about maltrodextrin



is this stuff a complex carb? or a simple carb?
is it used for spiking insulin like dextrose is?


and would taking 200-400 grams a day (along with weight training 5 days a week, cardio 3 days/week) and a healthy diet in terms of other foods...

would that make you fat/retain water?

You dont need to take in that much malto. Its basically the same as dextrose. Only use it in your pwo shake. 2:1 ratio of malto/whey. Some people combine 1/2 dex and 1/2 maltodextrine, but either way, your insulin will be spiked suffeciently. 40-50g of whey to 80-100g of malto. Thats it!!!

I don't agree. It's a slower burning carb than dextrose. Your PWO shake should be 2:1 wheyextrose or some people do half dex and half malto. The time for malto is in the PreWO shake/meal for sustained energy through your workout. The dextrose will shuttle the protein into aminogenesis more efficiently than the malto, hence the need for it PWO.

so would it be safe to say that oatmeal could be replaced by maltodextrin?

or visa versa
