    G'day guys, I'm looking into buying a new protein and as I only drink it either before breaky and post workout, I was either thinking of getting a mass gainer or my regular protein but buying carbs separately? Could someone help me out with what I want here? With the mass gainers, they r very expensive per serving as on some of them your looking up to a serve of 300gms! That's like 15servings for a 10lb bag! Which is ridiculous!!

    What carb should I buy? Dextrose, maltodextrin or waxy maize? What are the differences?
    Thanks in advance

    Personally I'd buy some WPI and grind up some whole grains oats to mix with your shakes.. weight gainers have too much extra crap in them.

    That was the other option! And you can buy fine oats for fairly cheap too.

    Chees mate, I have decided to add carbs to my WpI but can someone explain what carbs are best? As in my original question.
