Mixing Malto and Dextrose???

ssminnow Posts: 284 Joined: 2004/02/16	2007/08/13, 09:14 AM Hi All, So for the last month I have been mixing 20g of malto and 20g of dextrose pwo. According to the instructions on the packages, to get 20 of each I need 6.5 tbsp of dextrose and 3.5 of Malto. I know this figure (which is 25% of my weight) is for a cutting diet. I am not cutting or trying to lose fat, but have been experimenting with what will work best for me. So anyway, I know to gain I need to up this, even double it. I have never been able to mix it well no matter what I use (shaker or blender). I keep cool aid in the fridge and add the proper amounts pwo. It seems that you need a ton of liquid or else it gets super saturated and you get sugar clumps (although these taste amazing, especially when that is really the only sugar I get). Anyway, my question is, if I double the amount of m and d, it seems like I will need a bucket of kool aid just to get this to dissolve. How do others mix this? I tried preparing a bunch before hand, but I found that this didn't work, because the sugar took up so much space in the container, that it made my measurements wrong. Now that i add the m and d after every workout (rather than preparing a large amount in advance), i dont care how much liquid is in it, because I add the right amount of sugar (m and d) and know how much I am getting. Can anyone shed some light? THanks!

I originally read it as 1.25tbsp = 4g, when in actuality it was tsp. So my calculations were way off. No wonder I couldnt get rid of that excess gut fat. DOH!! I wont chalk to past two months up as worthless though, because I was eating right (other than this) and exercising religously.
