Sam Roberts said:Sugar is for when you're trying to build muscle. If your goal is just losing weight, you should probably stick to fewer carbs like that.

I'm actually looking to put on some muscle mass... why would I be worried about losing weight? 🙂

Jonathan Miller7 said:I'm not really sure how many grams that actually is.🤷

I usually grab some raisins after my workout—about 100 grams or so.

So what's the big deal about 50 grams? That's only about 200 calories.

As for the exact weight, I don't really weigh everything out. I just know those 100 grams of raisins is roughly what's in one of those little snack packs I finish.

But when I look at it, it feels like eating sugar!
And we all know sugar isn't great for you. 🤣
It makes me wonder...

Edward Mitchell4 said:It's about 3 tablespoons, since sugar weighs more than protein.

Just a quick beginner question here...

If you're watching every single gram you consume... is it really okay to have almost 3 tablespoons of sugar every day?
Honestly, I'm a bit lost on this one... 😕

Henry Evans3 said:It’s really not necessary. I live right near the border, so I can just head over there with my brother.🙂 I usually just tell them which local post office to send the package to—say, a small town in the Midwest near the border—and then I just drive over to pick it up myself.🙂

I know shipping within the US ends up being more expensive...🙂

For example, a 10lb tub of Optimum Nutrition whey protein goes for about $257 here, whereas over there it's only $123... Thank goodness I didn't spend all my money on this stuff back home, seeing what the prices are like now.

I actually live near the border too... so maybe I could make use of that?
Does that mean I just order it to one of their post offices and then swing by to grab it?
And where exactly do you order from? Which website?

Jonathan Miller7 said:~50-60 grams

So that's almost double the protein content?
Could you give me an idea of how much sugar we're actually talking about here?
I'm not really great with the math on grams... if 30g of protein is roughly 3 teaspoons, how many teaspoons of sugar are hiding in those 3 portions of protein?

How many grapes should I grab along with my 30g of Optimum Nutrition after a workout?

thanks...

Hey everyone... I just started a new thread... but it looks like a moderator moved it somewhere, and now I have no clue where it went. Any idea how I can track it down?
