Waxy/Dextr calories amount?

[Tbucket]

Posted a question regarding using a fruit juice instead of waxy or plain dex, but when I was looking at the grape juice bottle, 160 cal's in an 8oz serving.....thats 320 cal's for 16oz and 2 scoops of whey!!!....what does the waxy or dex powder have? For some reason it sounds like a lot of cals to drink, BUT dont have any of the other stuff to compare.

As always, thanks in advance.

How many calories are contained in dextrose or WMS? Well absolutely 100% depends on how much you use. But the macro breakdown is identical to fruit juice.

You get 4 calories for every gram of carbohydrate regardless of the source.

If you want less calories than merely dont use 16oz. At 160cals that is only 40g carbs which isnt much at all considering you are using it in a PWO drink.

Awww, thanks for the input....just seemed a little high, but didnt want to scrimp on the PWO of all things.....might have to rearrange the macros to fit it in........the reason for 16 oz was to get the carbs up there, but Dayum, that juice is sweet...thanks again.
