It should be double the grams of protein, so you would use 100g of dex. Yes, 50g of dex = 50g of sugar.

It depends on your taste , I prefer a 50/50 mix of dex/mal. But the 2:1 ratio is correct.

Well, milk contains sugar (lactose). It's considered in some circles that it is not beneficial in a PWO drink...explained below. However, you've gotta create your own opinion about that, b/c LOTS of people like to use milk in their PWO drink.

So you will be adding more sugar into your PWO drink which should be taken into account when adding up the carbs.

On a side note, lactose is a disaccharide consisting of one molecule of glucose and one of galactose. So half of milk sugar is galactose which will help restore liver glycogen but not muscle glycogen.

I prefer water.

I only use water, l'm not a big fan of milk.
