How many g dextrose for postwrkout ?

[diesel]

How many g dextrose should be consumed after workout. I'm wondering if 50g dex = 50 carbs...since the dex. is already pure and a simple sugar.

I'm focused on gaining (slow but constant) lean muscle, not just mass. What serving range is recommended if I'm under 200lbs
I'll be adding 50 g whey iso. and creatine.

Also, any website that offers Maltodex. instead of dex?

1 gram dextrose = 1 carb

I use a ratio of 2:1 - Dextrose to Whey protein

i.e. 100g Dextrose and 50g Protein

Here's what I would recommend:

During workout:

Protein:
0.4g/kg LBM BCAAs

Carbs:
12-72 reps per workout - 0.400g/Kg of LBM
73-200 reps per workout - 0.533g/kg of LBM
200-360 reps per workout - 0.666g/kg of LBM
360-450 reps per workout – 0.800g/kg of LBM

Post-workout

Protein:
0.6g/kg LBM

Carbs:
12-72 reps per workout - 0.600g/Kg of LBM
73-200 reps per workout - 0.800g/kg of LBM
200-360 reps per workout – 1.000g/kg of LBM
360-450 reps per workout – 1.200g/kg of LBM



Here is maltodextrin, although I've never shopped for it so I don't know prices:

That calculator is great for your PWO shake.

It really depends on the degree of insulin sensitivity you exhibit. My pwo shakes are dependant soley on my goals, pre workout diet and the way I feel. Basically shoot for 50-100g dex/malto and 50-75g whey. There are so many variables though, and this isnt rocket science.
