just use the scoop they gave you with the dextrose...and see how many scoops it takes to fill up your protein scoop....
1 scoop is aprox 50 g
actually a lvl scoop is about 48.5g's :D
So you're saying that the 28g (1 oz) scoop is 48g of carbohydrate? Crap. I've been over doing it then. MarkQuote:

If I calculated correctly each TBSP has about 16g of carbs. If I wanted 50g of carb that would only be 3 TBSP. That doesn't sound like enough. Aaargh! Mark.
dextrose serving of 4 carbs is 1.25 tsp which turns out to be about 48gcarbs in 1 protein scoop.
I spose that makes sense. Thanks. MarkQuote:

yes dextrose is dextrose
i bought kool aid i think i put wayyy to much in the shake
it was all foamy and disgusting thats way to much sugar and carbs for me plus on the back it says it fructose,, which is found in fruits...why do u guys say fruit is bad after training then
due to its structure/nature fructose is metabolize in liver and does not do much for the expediant transportation of nutrients to the RAPED muscles.Quote:

1 tsp = 4gQuote:

Other useful equations
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
16 tablespoon = 1 cup
48 teaspoons also = 1 cup.
ok....I feel like an idiot. So if 1 of my scoops that came with the dex equals 3 tsps then.... 7 of my scoops equal 84 grams of carbs?Quote:

so which is it Beanie??? Tai said 1.25 tsp = 4g carbs...by that calculation, .52 cups would equal 80g... :0icon_pis
Great question Diesel (and I shall overlook you mispelling of my name and assume that it is a typo). It seems to depend on which site you check.Quote:

I am using one cup of protien mix, which should yield 51g of protien and 6g of carb. I am adding half a cup of dextrose which by my estimate would yield 96g carb. So, in total I figure I am getting about 50g protien and 100g carb. If you really think that you can refine your measurements to .52 of a cup, more power to you. For me I am just too simple a person, so I feel it necessary to derive a simple solution.
you're right, i got my lazy ass up and googled it...everything i found confirms your measurement of 1tsp = 4g...so, to make it simplier on my end, i figured 7tbsp to give me around 84g, which is my target...thanks Beeny...
dood, just kiddin' BEENIE!!!! :lol:
