They can claim only 2 grams sugar because technically maltodextrin is a complex carb. Its still super high GI and breaks into sugar in the body quick but they don't have to mention that. That is why glycoload has more sugar. Dextrose is a simple carb composed of glucose so it has to be called sugar on the label. I think glycoload is more expensive so go with the carbo gain.

My PWO shake:
-Carbo gain .5 cup (47 g carbs)
-1.5 scoops champion whey (35-40 grams protein)
-2 scoops gatorade powder (40 g carb)

This is more carbs than most shakes but I am bulking and feel I need more cals around the workout. I also start drinking this right as I workout and continue to do so through the workout.
