dextrose is PURE sugar, so a pure carbohydrate. 4 calories to a gram of dextrose.
there is no set 'serving size' of dextrose...its whatever you need to get your carb intake goals.
on average, dextrose in a PWO shake is twice the protein amount. assuming 25g of protein, that's 50g of dextrose, which is 200calories in carbs (and 100 cals in the protein, not including any carbs or fat in the protein powder...so prolly more like 120cals from the protein).

yep. that's assuming your protein powder only has 2-4g of carbs, and no more than 1.5g of fat.
also, dextrose is more dense than whey powder, so it's not as easy as 1 scoop of protein, 2 scoops of dextrose. if you have a kitchen scale, use it to weigh a protein scoops' worth of dextrose.
Don't quote me but I think a 39cc scoop will hold 45g of dextrose when its a level scoop.
