Is it dextrose that bloats you, or the creatine, or none of the previous?

Last time I bulked I took Phosphagen HP, and it contains dextrose and everyone says I look 10x better now, not all bloated.

But I was thinking of taking Dextrose post work out to get the much needed insulin spike and fast digesting carbs.

Does anyone here use Dextrose on a cut? Does it inhibit any fat gain?

How much is a good amount for someone who is 175lbs? It will be taken with a banana post workout. Right now I am slow slow bulking probally not even .5/lb a week but I want to stay lean.

with increases carbohydrate intake comes water. I think the ratio is something like 1 glucose molecule to 3 H20 molecules. lower grade creatines contain sodium which can further increase bloating.

you want you post workout shake to have a ratio of 1:3 to 1:4, protein: carbs. so for 20 grams of protein you should use at least 60 grams of carbs.

Wow! That's a crap load.

If you are doing a cut, what should be done then?
I get about 24 Pro. and 25 carb post workout. Is that not enough?

I base it on weight/size.

~0.25g protein/pound
~0.5g carbs/pound

If you are cutting then you can do:
~0.25g protein per LBM
~0.5g carbs per LBM

If you are doing lower carb then you can also do:
~0.33g carbs per LBM or total weight

So for someone your size (~185ish), assuming you are ~15% BF, you would be looking at:
~ 40-45g protein
~ 50-95g carbs

Some people who feel they require higher protein levels also do up to 0.33g of protein/pound.

Personally, I feel that if you are cutting and you are going to cut calories, the cut calories at a different time. Pre and post workout nutrition are important.
