Protein drinks

[Dr. JK]

What is the best thing to drink protein drinks with, i.e. water or milk?
If you take it with just water

I use 1% milk...

 

[Sub-Zero]

aparently the sugar even in skim milk is bad, but i have it anyway

 

[theoak01]

I prefer water as with milk I get bloated and feel like shit and then miss my next meal because of it

Milk is for babies, but then again, I guess I'm a big baby. I use FF milk.

I drink my shakes with skim milk PWO, with water at other times....

 

[pintoca]

I only have one shake a day and that is the PWO, which I want to be digested as fast as possible, so water for me.

water.

I am considering having my pre-bed shake with milk when I start bulking tho.

MILK's lactose gives me the runs, and i would be hurting and cramping while lifting, try isopure...lol...taste like crap but i hear it is pretty good. Arnold contradicted himself always saying he drank milk, then he didnt, so only he knows what is best

 

[Ripped2Shredds]

but if you look at whole milks contributes, it is a good source of calories, yet quite easy to have a lot of it, assuming you aren't lactose intolerant, and besides, milk is natural right?

I've been drinking Myoplex Deluxe with water, but it tastes horid, so I'm thinking about switching it up.

Where do people come up with these crazy thoughts? Christ...the answer is it's up to you. If you can stay lean with dairy go for it...if you want to put on some mass and you can handle the lactose, dairy is a prime source....I'm pretty much convinced cottage cheese is the number #1 bb fuel......if you could only take in one food.........cc ranks with eggs.....ground beef.........i now get away with red meat, eggs, cc, peanuts, oatmeal and yams......greens on the side, but thats it...........lol........I forget what ANY other food even tastes like.....it's a sad sad game.........sorry for the tyraid, but slam you gd milk!

 

[Dr. JK]

Thanks for all your replys.

So the conclusion is, if you want a quick absorption use water (like late at night time), otherwise use skim milk.

Make sense?

 

[PaganPunkstress]

Ive tried drinking my shakes w/ water and I almost puked.
Its disgusting..so I have no choice but to drink them down with milk

 

[rbtrout]

Amen to jkurzl! It's what you prefer and what you can stay lean with. I drink it both ways. I'm not so sure abou the absorbtion rate milk vs. water, but do what you prefer if you can stay lean.

I use chocolate milk for my protien shakes pre and post workout (30g protein) because I want the carbohydrates (sugar)... but before bedtime I have another protein shake just using skim milk powder and water.

 

[chewyxrage]

I only use water with protein shakes, however I do drink ~4 cups of fat free carb countdown milk thoughout the day with my meals to boost protein.

you are confused............dairy contains lactose and casein, both of which are very slow digesting.........opt for water post workout and use it pre-bed.......

 

[AceVision]

I use water. I think alot of it depends on your protein brand too. ON's has alot of good flavors

 

[Ripped2Shredds]

i heard ON's instantized wasn't a good protein source, I like it, smoother and tatse better, but it a diet guy at another forum didn't reccoment it for someone.
