For post-work I will replace the bagel once I get some maltodextrin or dextrose. However, I was wondering which should I get? The dextrose or the maltodextrin or BOTH? I am using the bagel because its fairly high in the GI index (about 72) and it has a lot of carbs.

Thanks in advance.

Well, your diet looks pretty good. As for the dextrose or maltodextrin, go with whatever you like.

While this may be a good estimate of your daily calorie needs, you will probably have to adjust this amount up/down depending on how your body responds to the above calorie intake.



Meal 1 (BreakFast): 1 Cup 2% milk (8/13/5)
1 Cup Kashi Go-Lean Crunch (9/36/3)
1 Scoop Whey Protein (23/3/1.5)
1 Multivitamin
1 Slice Whole Wheat Bread (3/14/1)
2 Tbs Peanut Butter (8/14/12)

-Protein 51 g
-Carbs 80 g
-Fat g 22.5 g


I would probably get rid of the 2% milk and go with skim, seeing as how milk fat really does not have any nutritional value.



Meal 2: 2 Cups Brown Rice (5/44/1)
1 Cup Grilled Chicken (36/0/18)
1 Cup Black Beans (16/49/4)
3 Cod Liver Oil Caps
1 Vitamin C Tab

-Protein 57 g
-Carbs 93 g
-Fat 23 g


Might want to check the amount of carbs in the brown rice as I believe 2 cups would have a lot more than 44g of carbs.



Meal 3 (During Workout/Post Workout): 24 oz Gatorade (During Workout) (0/42/0)
1 Scoop Whey Protein w/ Water (23/3/1.5)
1 White Bagel (9/55/1.5)
-Protein 32 g
-Carbs 100 g
-Fat 3 g


For someone your size I really do not think you need that many carbs over the course of your training. Maybe cut the Gatorade down to 12oz.?



For post-work I will replace the bagel once I get some maltodextrin or dextrose. However, I was wondering which should I get? The dextrose or the maltodextrin or BOTH? I am using the bagel because its fairly high in the GI index (about 72) and it has a lot of carbs.

Either one would work fine, and if you wanted you could use a combination of the two. If you are going to use more than 50g of dextrose then a combination of dextrose and malto would probably be the way to go (50/50 mixture).

I ordered the 2lbs of dextrose from 1fast400. I will be taking only dextrose, what's a good dosage for my size?

Yeah, I made an error caclulating the carbs for the brown rice its actaully 88g for 2 cups. I'll cut the gatorade down to 12oz too.. thanks Bradley

~50g would be plenty IMO, because you will be taking in ~21g of carbs from the Gatorade during your workout.
