i take my protein scooper and do double the amount of dextrose than protein... easy enough for me. i put 2 scoop protein, 4 scoop dextrose. (this is using 100% whey which is 23g for 29g protein so it measures out easily)

my dex is 4 grams sugar per 1.25 teaspoon and i am assuming that we are talking 80 grams sugar when we talk 2:1 ratio

1/2 cup is 75 grams according to swolecat i believe. What i did was i took 1.25 tsp per 4 grams and multiplied it by 20 to get 80 grams. thats 25 teaspoons total. divided approximately by 3 tbls per teaspoon gives you 8 tablespoons. I dumped 8 tablespoons into a 1/2 measuring cup and its about dead on. you cannot go by doubling the scooper of your protein for sure. I have 1 100% whey protein that is a 20 grams a scoop and is 1/2 the size of my other protein which 25 grams a scoop. One is more dense of a powder than the other.

i think u are grossly miscalculating how much dextrose you are adding to your shake. 2 scoops of optimum whey = 46g protein and 2 scoops of dextrose USING the optimum whey scooper = about 75-80g or 1/2 cup.
so since you are adding 4 scoops you are intaking 160g of carbs.. bad idea.

My Optimum Nutrition whey package says each scoop is 28g and contains 23g of protein, therefore, you could do 2 scoops whey(46g pro), and 3 scoops of dex(84g carb) to roughly get the 2:1 ratio.
