    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.

    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
