Thread: Dextrose and Protien?????

  1. #1

    Question Dextrose and Protien?????

    My nutritionist recommended having 100 grams of dextrose and 60 grams of whey protein post workout. Does anyone know of a MRP that has something comparable in it. It would just seem easier. Or what about mixing my protein powder with juice, isnt Dextrose just a simple carb? Thanks for any input

    What is easier than mixing dextrose and whey? Dextrose is corn sugar.

    Type in Dextrose in a google search, you will find hundreds of places to order it for very cheap. I just can't rationalize paying $3-5 for a MRP when you could order multiple POUNDS of dextrose for the same price.

    trueprotein.com I just bought 5lbs of dextrose watermelon, and 5lbs of Malto strawberry thats 90 servings of 50g for 21 dollars, thats alittle under .50 a work out. So why waste 2-4 bucks on MRP when you can have Carbs and whey for under a buck. I just got it in the food grade bag and put it in an empty protein bottle, saved me 5 bucks on each one.

    Makes sense, does that dosage sound about right for someone 6', 202lbs? Thanks guys

    you would need 660 calories or more in an MRP to equal 100g carbs and 40g whey I dont know how many MRPS are that high?? But 60-100g depending on your goals should be good
