Dextrose

[joos23]

I am getting ready to do a lean bulk with fasted cardio. I am thinking about using dextrose in whey protein right before my lift. Any input?

Before training I prefer oatmeal.

I will already be at the gym and won't have time to go back home eat oatmeal and go back to lift. Figuring it would get nutrients in my muscles instantly and spare muscle

Nothing WRONG persay with dextrose, however, it is void of any nutritional value other than the fact that it is a carbohydrate. It does have its place, but I don't feel it's the best option during a dieting phase when calories are restricted. I use it now, but only because I take in 650 grams of carbs atm lol.

You guys are right. Dextrose should be post workout and oats would be a better option for pre

honestly I don't really like oats pre. Too much fiber and it bloats me and makes me feel super full and sluggish during my workout. nothing wrong with using dextrose pre/intra. or if you want to do whole food pre....I prefer cream of rice

 

[joos23]

Never thought about cream of rice. That low GI?

i do oats pre and post and hbcd intra. you can just put the oats in your shake and if its to much to chew them or swallow them whole you can always blend up your container of oats so its just like any other powder in the shaker.

no not really. But its slower than dextrose. I usually add a bit of natural almond butter to it too to slow it down a bit

Perfect solution. Rice crispy treats..

I myself sip on rice maltodextrin and EAA all day.

I like oatmeal in the pre-workout and choco cereals or white bread in post-workout.

I use fruit bars pre workout and a carb powder (dextrose or malto) intra. Works great for me.
Some people get stomach issues with dextrose but if you can handle it go for it. It is also really cheap.

Gatorade is dextrose, lol. Some sucrose in there too

I'm currently trying a lean bulk as well. I do only 10-15 minutes of HIT. I do it to warm up and in a fasted state as I train around 4:00 am. So maybe semi-fasted depending on how late my last meal was the night before.

I then mix up an intra-workout shake of 10-15 grams of EAA's with about 45 grams of HBCD and sip on it during my weight training. Then I have a postworkout shake or meal with slower acting carbs. I like sweet potato powder if I'm having a shake.

The small amounts of cardio are just to warm up....and I find that it stimulates my appetite the rest of the day.

Why???

Because I can't physically handle much food for more than a few weeks.
I'm my best when I'm eating minimal carbs from food and replacing them with liquid short acting carbs.
And ive replaced a lot of my protein with EAA.
