Can someone give the nutritional facts for Dextrose?
I bought 6lbs of it but no info
1/2 cup Dextrose 1/2 cup Whey
I think Optimum Nutrition Double Chocolate is 45g protein for 1/2 cup.

1/2 cup is 75 grams of carbs.

u know that 2 scoops using the optimum scooper = 1/2 cup or 75 grams like swolecat said. this makes it easy to measure

5:3 ratio
I went to http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking...surements.html to get dry measurement conversions.
Here is the conversion chart for: Dry Measure Equivalents
3 teaspoons 1 tablespoon 1/2 ounce 14.3 grams
2 tablespoons 1/8 cup 1 ounce 28.3 grams
4 tablespoons 1/4 cup 2 ounces 56.7 grams
5 1/3 tablespoons 1/3 cup 2.6 ounces 75.6 grams
8 tablespoons 1/2 cup 4 ounces 113.4 grams
12 tablespoons 3/4 cup 6 ounces .375 pound
32 tablespoons 2 cups 16 ounces 1 pound
If this is the case, then the scoop that comes with the ON Whey 5lb is very confusing. A heaping scoop from the ON = 1/2 cup. However, on the Nutritional Facts it says 1 scoop = 29.4 grams and 5lbs = 77 servings.
Dextrose has been covered. 1/2 cup = 75 grams carbs
This would mean that for ON 1/2 cup = 25 grams protein
If I am to do "2:1 for Dextrose:Whey" shouldn't I do "1 scoop Dextrose: 1/2 scoop ON Whey" This would be 75 carbs and 12.5 protein
2:1 Carb to Protein RatioQuote:

test it urself, take two scoops of dextrose with the ON scooper, put it in a measuring cup, it comes to 1/2 cup. or 75grams of carbs.
1 Scoop from the ON 5lb = 85% of 1/2cup
1 Heaping Scoop = 1/2 cup
On the bottom of my scooper it says 70cc
What does your say?

Forget all my hogwash. I finally had the blindfold lifted. Very simple to be honest.
Thanks to everyone for their input, I'll compile it here.
PWO Shake
2:1 Ratio Carbs:Protein
1/2 cup Dextrose = 75g Carbohydrates
Just under 1.75 Servings of Whey (22g standard) = 37.5g Protein
75g carb : 37.5g Pro = 2:1 Ratio
Forget about the size of the scoop just the amount of protein in each serving.
Now my next question is, with the 2:1 ratio what amount of dextrose do you add to your PWO Shake? 75g? 100g? 125g? 150g? etc etc
well if its 2:1 then its double in grams w/e your protein intake is.Quote:
