Complex Carbohydrate Powder

[niceshotman]

I was curious if anyone knows of a Complex Carbohydrate Powder that can be used in place of regular foods such as oatmeal. I think the waxy maize starch is a complex carb, but it is absorbed very rapidly, so it seems that it is good for a post workout insulin spike, but not for use as a food replacement.

I know that food is much better for you....but I just have a particular situation where it is difficult for me to eat much, and protein foods are my priority. If there was some type of complex carb powder that could be mixed in a drink, then that would be ideal for me as a way to get enough carbs in my diet.

Some of the protein powder and weight gainer mixes list carbs in the ingredients, but I don't know enough about biochemistry to know if these are the fast absorbing kind, or the slow engergy feeding kind.

I saw a Carbo Gain maltodextrin product that claims it is a slow sustained release corn starch carb, but I have read elsewhere that maltodextrin is absorbed as rapidly as glucose, which would not be a slow sustained realease, right?

you can get activated barley on amazon from sunwarrior. . Palintose is also good, but it more akin to sucrose (half glucose half fructose) but with a low GI. True protein also has Swedish oat starch which is similar to oatmeal but with a higher GI. Of course, I would think grinding the oatmeal would raise the GI anyways.

oat powder fo sho. cytosport also makes a product called "cytocarb 2" which, according to my experiments done on my diabetic friend, seems to have a moderate gi

I like the blended oats with some whey mixed in. They're great for when you don't have time to sit and eat something.

I buy powdered oats (oat flour) at a health food store. For some reason it's even cheaper than plain oats, so i retired my coffee grinder.

U know if those have any fats. I get the ones that are 1 minute quaker oats and they have 3g fat per serving which I think is a lot??
