25 grams of dextrose and 25 grams of maltodextrin in your post workout shake.

I was told 80 grams of pure dextrose several times.

That much simple sugar isnt necessary.

It isnt a generak guideline, you have to take weight, bf%, goals etc into the equation. Whoever threw out a blanket guideline of 80g of dextrose is just repeating what they heard from others.

Well, i would say that 75-100g is plenty if bulking. 50g os fine if maintaining. I wouldnt go much lower than 35g. if cutting.
