Mine have varied anywhere from 60g to 170g.
I had 200g for breakfast once when I was pretty glycogen depleted.

Depending the rest of my daily diet, about 1.5 hours before work I have 1/2 cup of oats mixed with 1 scoop of nitrean, or 1 cup of oats with nitrean.

Use to do 1/2 cup oats and whey. Haven't been doing it for a while. Haven't really noticed a difference yet.

Bulknutrition.com has dextrose as well.
I would try out maybe 30-40g pre and/or post workout and then up it gradually if you feel good.

I just bought some maltodextrin in the form of granulated splenda. My question is...
How the heck do you fit 50g of the stuff in a drink? I weighed an entire cup and it was only like 30g!! I couldn't imagine more than a cup of splenda in one workout drink!! Is this right?Last edited by teenathlete3030; 04-09-2008 at 07:27 PM.
