Is Maltrodextrin not a good complex carb to have in the mornings and immediately post workout?

[superyeti]

info corrected*

[willldabeast]

Maltodextrin is a simple carb (EXTREMELY SIMPLE) only take it post wo

not even needed then, more preferance

[superyeti]

I would have 1/2 to 1 cup oats in the morning, maybe some rice midday, and some 1 or 2 tbsp pb before bed. I didn't count your macros, just goin by ff the top of my head, so do a count make sure its all in order, if you need help heres a link http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/issa64.htm dont go by those macros ratio though, Im currently doing 40 protein/40carbs/20 fats

Thanks. I thought it was a complex carbohydrate. The bag http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/now/carbo.html says, 100% complex carbohydrates on the front of it.
Please advise.
Hate to think that ive been slamming simple carbs in the morning.
?

very clean...how many cals is it?

[superyeti]

to op- sorry maltotextrin is complex but it has a high glycemic index, my bad

[Alvy]

So based on some replies I should elminate it from my morning meal #1 and replace with some oatmeal? Or is the high index still ok for the morning shake?

[superyeti]

Oats good, Malt bad for the morning

get rid of the malt. and add fat

definitely do not take malt. for breakfast. that will spike your insulin big time and you dont want that when you work out several hours later. oatmeal is king of breakfast carbs.

get some good fats in as well. natty pb before bed, flaxseed oil in the morning.

[Alvy]

So the adjusted morning meal #1 (wake up)
2 scoops ON Whey
1 tablespoon flaxseed
1 cup oatmeal

Pardon my ignorance, but does natty peanut butter just mean natural?

[superyeti]

if your lookin to cut your stomach fat 1/2 cup would be better, and yes
