I am visiting the folks back in mississippi this Xmas...was planning
on taking along about the same stuff I did this past June when I was
their for their 50th anniversary.
Then I rethunk it. You see, when I work out, I drink a liter of
gaterade or some other such drink, but to it I add an additional
200grams of carbohydrate (CHO) as i tend to loose energy quickly (my
scrawny arse powerlifts, believe it or not). This extra CHO is added
in the form of maltodextin, of which i had to buy a 50 pound bag.
The stuff has relatively no sweet taste to it, but all the energy of
a regular CHO (as it is a CHO). I am loosing my point here.
Point be: the stuff is a fine, white powder. I have no "official"
container for it, so I just (last trip) carried it in another
container (old TwinLab carbo fuel bottle...figured if questioned, no
one would know the difference). I was actually nervous that trip
thinking someone would think i was stupid enough, or ballsy enough,
to be carrying a pound of coke/heroine.
Think I'll have to leave that stuff at home this trip...
