Cytogainer vs. Muscle Milk

[Captain FT]

Both mixed with water

Cytogainer
580 Calories
5g Fat (2.5g Sat)
79g Carbs (6g Sugar, 1g Fiber)
54g Protein

Muscle Milk
300 Calories
12g Fat (6g Sat as MCT's)
16g Carbs (4g Sugar, 5g Fiber)
32g Protein

For post workout or a meal replacer I'd have to go with Cytogainer, I think it has an overall better ratio of macro's

Thoughts?

I use Cytogainer for my PWO shake.

I use Cytogainer for my PWO shake.

Same here, I just got some. For awhile everyone was raving about Muscle Milk (still think its a good product) and I think I steered clear of Cytogainer mainly because of its name, I never really checked out its nutritional information. Its basically the same as one of my meals which I like better. I'm a little nervous to take it as PWO after 60-80g of waxy maize. I'd me taking Cytogainer around 10-11pm and that many carbs that late i'm not sure about. For PWO I might have to move my workouts to the morning.

I wouldn't take it that late unless you want a one way ticket to obeseville lol. I would use the cyto as a liquid meal early in the day. Maybe between breakfast and lunch. I have been using a shake as my second meal with good success, just not cytogainer. Since they changed MMs formula it just doesn't taste the same to me.

Waxy is the last carbs I consume PWO because of my schedule. For PWO I usually do 80g WMS/10g BCAA/5g Leucine/5g creatine mono, then 30 minutes later I have 60g Whey iso with 5 additional grams of Leucine added. An hour after the whey I usually eat a pound of steak and two cups of broccoli. Sometimes I wish I could train earlier in the day to eat more carbs PWO, but I have been recovering and adding LBM just fine doing this.
