    Unless you want to guess, you have to buy a scale. If your cheap, buy the scale weigh your whey/dex and return the scale. The problem is whey weight and protein content differ brand to brand. Until you get a scale, just use equal amounts of both.

    its diff for everyone bro. . so use 100 grams dex, some use 50, your gonna have to experiment. and you dont need a scale, 1/2 cup of dex is about 75 grams carbs, so that should help ya.

    I only asked because the answer was already given in regards to measurements.

    As far as how much YOU have to take, YOU would have to post YOUR diet in order for anyone to give any advice as to how much YOU are to take.

    So, perhaps you may want to f*cking do that.

    Remember, people are here to help, but can't read minds nor see the future.

    I've read that 1/2 cup of dextrose equals 80 grams.
    2 scoops of protein equals 42-46 grams.
