how to figure out a 6% carb 2% protein for 1 lite

[layton]

I always read you want around 6% carb drink mix in your water. But water is measured in volume and powder is measured in weight.

 

Here's the question, how many ounces of a standard carbohydrate drink mix do you need to make an 8% solution in 1 liter of water.

 

Next question, how many calories is that x-amount of drink mix.

 

Pick your drink mix, I'm assuming the weights of different sugars are similar enough for this not to factor in the equation.

 

NEXT,

The exact same question (amount and cals) for a standard protein powder to make a 2% solution.

can't you convert your water into a weight? Like 1 liter of water = 1000g, and one ounce of powder is like 28g or something. So you would need something like 3oz of powder in one liter for 8% mixture by weight.

Shouldn't you be able to figure that out, on account of your a Doctor and stuff?

thanks fern. That's the number I got. Just double checking

no, don't get all Canadian Pride n' shit. It's a simple problem of converting a volume to a solid
