Has anyone ever added maltodextrin to whey protein as a cheap alternative for a high carb, high protein shake?

Just bought 5kg of each and this could possibly be the most cost effective supp combo ever.

30g protein and 50g carbs = one scoop of each powder, post workout shake

Pretty common for guys who make their own supps I thought.

When I was researching making my own it came up a lot.

In the end I remember that I am an absolute rank amateur and basic protein was enough for me :)

I use dextrose with my shake after training at night.

And it's the first hit of carbs I get for the day..

followed by carb meal, followed by icecream then fruit..

ride that high... till the mad crash which falls in line with when I go to bed.

As a former ecto, because it can be bloody hard to gain with a fast metabolism.

I spent far more time working on my eating than I did lifting.

Really it wasn't until I got a bit older that I could stop working so hard to gain and maintain.

Yeah its fine

honestly don't know why people need shit like massgainers, but that's probably due to me being a fatass

Its like me saying why do people go on such strict diets? just eat a little less.

yeah but there's such a plethora of calorie dense food that it makes me wonder how someone needs a 2000 calorie shake to go with it lol.

I've tried the strict diet thing, felt like shit and lifts all stalled or went backwards. Thing is though, my reading suggests that for fat people you also have the double whammy of leptin etc levels being out, therefore necessitating more of a calorie restriction than someone who was less fat to start with.

body somatypes are broscience btw.

I simply use it as a term people are familiar with Boz, I'm well aware the "types" were dispelled.

My point being, some people do genuinely find it harder to gain. I was one of them. I eat substantially less now and maintain a desired weight with far greater ease. So age/metabolism definitely play a part.

That's not to say that age and metabolism have an unbreakable link (you can improve or damage your metabolism regardless of age to an extent), just that a lot of guys find it hard to gain when they are younger, not all but many.

Even the 'biggest' mass gainer i know of isnt even 1000 calories, thats over 150g carbs and 80g protein per serve.

I use mass gainers when im cutting some times, time restrictions mean i use supplementation...

so your leptin levels are out but you dont think naturally occuring base body shapes exist?

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
