If i purchase a whey isolate protein shake could i add malto to it and mix it in the shake,like this i have enough carbs and protein
p.s is 40g of malto enough in the shake if its a good idea Thanx Jay |
^^^^Yes absolutely add it in the shake. I'm assuming this is for pre so that is something you could do just prior (about 10-15 minutes) to your workout. You don't even need a whole serving of protein, say about 15 to 20 grams protein with about 40 grams carbs you'd get from the malto. Then you can use the same thing post workout except maybe more protein if you want. Again, you'd be better off using dex and malto together, 50% of each in terms of total carbs. Keep in mind that the grams amount and the actual carbs amount is two different things.
With malto it's pretty close. 50 grams = approx. 47 grams so just call it even since it won't matter. With dex 1.25 teaspoons = 4 grams carbs. I don't really know the gram weight of that. If it's a brand with flavoring added that will change of course. You DO not need to worry about some exact amount. Just a round about formula and I would advocate 60 to 100 grams carbs "surrounding" the workout but not more than that. A pre shake with 1/8 cup or so of malto and 5 teaspoons of dex would put you in the ballpark of 40 grams carbs if you wanted to do that. You could do a little more or a little less depending on how you feel during the workout. Again, there is not exact formula necessary just don't overdo it on the carbs. |
What do you think ,i use N-Xplode "No2" 20min b4 workout it really gives me a boost mentally and physically. Could i have the protein shake with the malto and dex 1 hour b4 workout ,and then have the No2 or this is to much time inbetween the workout and the shake
OR SHALL I JUST QUIT THE No2 THANX JAY |
Hey guys found a Carb gainner containing everything what do you think about this product to mix it withe the protein
NOW Carbo Gain is a 100% pure complex carbohydrate supplement derived from maltodextrin, an easily digestible blend of complex carbohydrates from corn starch. Maltodextrin contains "glucose polymers", linked sugar compounds that are easier for the body to assimilate and use. Glucose polymers are metabolized at a slow, steady rate that can help to sustain energy levels during endurance-oriented workouts and/or athletic events and support weight gain. Carbo Gain contains virtually no protein, fat or fiber and is a convenient source of energy for active individuals. Serving Size: 1/2 Cup (50 g) Servings Per Container: 63 Amount Per Serving: Calories 190 Total Carbohydrates 47g 15% Sugars 2g Carbo Powder 50g Ingredients: 100% Pure Maltodextrin from corn. Directions: Mix a 1/2 cup of Carbo Gain in each 16 oz. of water or juice. Consume before, during and after intense exercise for best results. Double this recipe if engaging in prolonged exertion of 2 hours or more. |

If your were to keep the NO2 then then use low GI carbs an hour before workout time, no malto. And protein of course. Although manufactures call malto "complex carbs" they do this to try to mislead you into thinking it's low GI. It's not. If you use a lot of high GI carb an hour before working out, as far as the workout is concerned it won't be as effective as a slow carb would be. Quote:

I wanted to post this simple but very useful explanation on the whole malto and dex thing so that people can understand what I'm talking about. I agree, however, as Cain says at the end, that it is not a great big deal, it just may be more optimal if it matters to you. This explanation is why I assert, however, that if you were to choose one or the other, choose malto.
