Muscle milk>???

I use it as a meal replacement actually in the middle of the day..... It has a really great blend of fat/protein/carbs.... Postworkout isn't the best idea since it has Fat in it.....

Absolutely agreed. I think it can be ok post workout depending on your goals.


Orange Cream
Vanilla are my two favs.

you can take it as many times as you want . and the fat wont matter for post workout because they are all MCT's , and all they do is burn fat. The most important times to take ure protein shake are within 30mins after your workout and right before bed

actually, I was going to agree with Prizz here.... I wouldn't take Muscle Milk after a workout because of the fat content... it contains more than just MCT's (for example, canola, sunflower, safflower oils.... I don't believe these are MCT's)... I would take MM for pre-workout and I would take it right before bed.

Would this not depend on your goal though? I have to agree with the MCT's being usful pre workout but say he is cutting and has a limited number of cals per day to work with. Then we would have to nix the bedtime shake and consider the after workout benefits. The small amount of sugars should create an insulin spike (dependant), the protien and carb content is sufficent post workout for many who are on cutting diets. Cals are a bit high but partial shake mixed with plain whey can fix that.

I just think that after a hard workout, your body's glycogen levels are depleted.... you need to quickly replenish with high-glycemic carbs and some protein... any fats will probably slow down your body's absorption of these crucial post-workout nutrients

OMG I LOVE MUSCLE MILK! Im lean bulking right now so I use it in the morning cuz I wake up and shoot out the door. I bought some Splenda Ice Cream - 10g Sugar Alcohol and 1g Sugar. Which is equivalent of 3.5g Sugar/serving. Throw a serving in with extra whey, 2 cups milk and some digestive enzymes/glucorell-r and im out the door. VERY CONVENIENT - CHOCOLATE TASTES AMAZING!
