Am i right in saying, that on a bulk oats are a much better choice than maltodextrin or waxy maize as the gi is better..and oats have fibre and protein along with vitamins and minerals of which malto and waxy maize dont have.

thats why they would be better. over the years of training and dieting i have found GI is kinda bullshit.
long as your macro's are right you are good to go. fruit, white rice whatever, it won't keep you from getting lean. in fact i love fruit in my diet.

for me yes. i would choose oats anyday, simply because i feel better after consuming them compared to the other two.

oats really really bloat me- anyone else find this?

yeah i completely agree.
thats why most of my carbs come from fruit. couple days a week i will have starchy carbs and i choose white rice usually. i love the stuff.

I eat 2-3 cups of oats every single day. One of my favorite carb sources.

It depends on when you use them

I wouldnt have maltodextrin for breakfast, but I would use is surround my workout

Would you have oatmeal during your workout or sip on some maltodextrin?

 

[medici999]

Why wouldnt u have it for breakfast?

the agument is...is that my friend said for bulking meal replacement shakes maltodextrin is a good choice...i said oats would be alot better.

I agree post workout malto would be much better

I rather eat whole foods for the majority of my meals, except when in a rush or surrounding my workout.

I would take maltodextrin if thats all i had for carbs at the time, but it wouldnt be my first choice

 

[knucklehed]

i'd agree that Oats are generally better nutritionally, although I prefer fruit (less bloat). But I stay on the low side with carbs...

On the other hand I have heard from others who use slin and boatload carbs, that VM and malto claer faster then say oats... So it would depend on your goals I guess.

Totally agree.. Whole foods are always the best choice.. Try steel cut oats for a nice change.. I also soak my oats overnight in water to lower phytic acid content and to make them nice and soft.. After they soak, rinse them off and then add appropriate water to cook or use them "as is" in a shake..

For me, fruit seems to supply good, quick energy. Whole oats are good as well but I agree, they seem to bloat.

I think that sticking to natural sources of nutrition whenever possible is the best decision.
