Measuring Dextrose

[bradley]

Just curious as to how others measure out the dextrose to put in postworkout shake. Are there any conversions like 1/4 cup=so many grams or something along those lines. Thanks in advance.

the stuff i use (maltodextrose) is about 1/4 cup = 30 grams

I guess there was some complications with the labeling of supplement direct's dextrose. They had 1/3 cup =75 grams which I had been assuming to be correct. But recently I heard that it is wrong and they are changing it. Its more like 1/3 cup =45 grams. Anyone else got info on this.

I'm just as clueless as you are with this Bradley. Say I was using the same scooper from my whey powder, how many scoops of dextrose should I mix in with my post workout shake?

I just took my protein powder scoop and counted how many teaspoons of dextrose would fit in there and then calculated it out using the ratios that I posted above. My 31g protein scoop held about 13 teaspoons of dextrose which comes out to about 42g of dextrose.

Yah, it's just math conversions. Figure out how many servings fit into the scooper and work from there.

I use a 32g whey scoop (from either HSN or Optimum--I can't remember) and zero a small (though somewhat inaccurate) kitchen scale. Usually, comes out at about 50g of dextrose per scoop if that's any help.

Thanks for the info B&I and Bradley.
