Hey Jamo and the wonderful people on MFT
My questions is about carbs
What do you think is the optimum amount of carbs I should be taking pre and post workout? (I'm 205 lb)
What do you think about the vitargo, waxy maize starch, maltodextrin, dextrose or gatorade?
Do I really have to take it as a supplement or are there any natural foods that would be great post workout carbs? Maybe like bananas or grape juice?
Jamo I would appreciate if you say a few words on this in video answers

If you think raisins are good, I think you may agree that grape juice is a good option. I'm inclined to choose it over raisins because it is liquid and I can easily measure how much I'm eating. But the question on the amount still remains unanswered. I'm trying to reduce my bodyfat so I don't want more carbs than I need.
