After drinking my protein shake after my workouts I have yet to find any dextrose so I just eat 1 cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch to get some quick sugar. Does it matter that the sugar is coming from that?

All I really want to know is does this have any negative effects?

Thanks fellas!

No, that is not a good idea. There is no substitute for dextrose.

Depends on your weight and if your bulking or cutting. I'm on a bulk and I get 50 grams post workout, which is a lot.
