I just bought maltodextrin and the pack suggests drinking 50g post work out, I want to mix it with my protein but it seems excessive - is 60g/25g (maltodextrin) a good combo?

Seems alot. I thought the reasoning behind this was to have an insulin spike so that the delivery of protein / creatine gets there faster and more direct. Mind you I could be talking through my arse. But 50g...ew!!! 21 inches son, 21 inches. Yep I know....ya dad's coool.

I do not think if you intend to eat again in the same day you need 60g protein post workout and would opt for something more like 35g whey and 20-30g maltodextrin personally.

Also I would not have whey to close before training - if you want to consumer something close to rtaining then opt for BCAAs.

Usually one scoop think its around 30-35g tops, this with around 40-45g protien. I use unflavoured whey, mixed with malto it actually tastes pretty nice. I then usually have a meal around an hour or so later. <message edited by BLADE_79 on 27 January 2012 12:31>

I'm using MyProtein whey (2 scoops is 60g of protein) and also their maltodextrin which they reccommend using 1.3 scoops of which puts it at 50g. (I also have a 60g protein shake pre-workout). I weight 84kg, 5ft 9" and am trying to build more muscle.
If I put my protein needs at 2.5 x kg, I need to consume 210g of protein (120 from shakes and 90g from my meals)
