7 pixy stix have about 14-15g carbs and ~60 calories.

So PWO if you are doing 2:1 carbs to protein with, say, 40g protein, you'd need about 37 pixy stix... :p

I knew there was a reason I bought dextrose in bulk...

Not if you got the giant Pixy Stix that are 21" long and have a full oz of Pixy Stix goodness in each mind bending tube!

Which is EXACTLY how I found this out... the Giant Pixy Stix were on sale for $.16 each at the local chain drugstore, so I bought a handful for the kids. Man, I haven't had a Pixy Stix rush for a long time...

Not really, no. Just putting the fact that Pixy Stix are indeed made of dextrose out there... one of those bits of knowledge that might come in handy in an emergency... say you were shipwrecked on a desert island with only a Bowflex and a box of Pixy Stix...

...or can you? :confused:

I'm not sure about pixy stix but I use smarties, basically dextrose in a wrapper.
