however much protein u put in, which is prob. somewere in the 30-40gram range. u put in double the dex. so it would be 60-80grams.

Use 1/2 cup, that'll be close to 80 grams which will get you right at about a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein

It seems like my dex weighs much more than my protein powder....

The dose needed to restore your depleted glycogene depos after an intensive workout is 0.8 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of lean body weight on average.

My Dextrose is right about twice the density of my protein so I just put 2 scoops of protein and 2 scoops of dex.
