Whey During The Day?

[MikeFBLB]

Is it ok to have a whey shake during the day? (I know milk protein is better during the day)but dont have the $ to be another shake

 

[KIAN]

Use casein based protein during the day and whey isolate pre and post workout for best absorption rates. If you can't find a suitable casein protein source then use whey concentrate.

You could also add some healthy fats to the isolate which would slow down its rapid absorption rate.

and mix it with mik instead of water during the day

I would buy ON 100% casien protien, but it is so expensive compared to whey. Could I just mix my whey with some low(or no fat milk) and get the same effect? I know that the fat slows down the absorption, but I put on a good bit of fat when I dink a lot of milk exspecially at bedtime. Would this work?

ttt for my question. Sorry for the hijak.

Hell yes. Don't be shy to drink them. I have like 4 -5 times of Ion Exchanged whey per day and slam some calcium casienate prior going to bed for slow absorption.

If money is a factor, try preteinfactory.com or dpsnutrition. It is a bargain for their quality products. Hope your $ factor improves though.

whey mixed w/fat free milk? while cutting is that a good option..the fat free milk?

Are you asking me to answer my own question or are you bringing this thread back to the top? I would think since it is "fat free" it wouldn't be bad while staying lean.

no sorry bro, was asking if it was ok while "cutting"

 

[cwc73]

Ok, I was just unsure. I am wondering the same thing even though I am not cutting or bulking. Maintaining while putting on a little muscle.

 

[cmdubs]

I was wondering about the milk and whey combo for cutting too. I have a shake in the morning w/ 1% milk and oats and 1 pre-workout....always thought it would slow the absorbtion rate a bit.

 

[chewyxrage]

I just throw some flax oil in there if it's not post workout. Good time to get it in cuz you can't taste it.

 

[cwc73]

So, would flax oil+whey+water be a good daytime snack or whatnot?

yeppers

So that is.....any thoughts of the fat free milk?

I am biased against milk because I can't digest it.....buuuuuut.....

On a restricted calorie diet, I would cut dairy out pretty quickly as lactose (milk sugar) isn't the greatest carb source (and when you're leaning out, you want the most bang for your buck so to speak). I think it's somewhere between sucrose and fructose on the GI index (it's a simple carb).....although it isn't likely you are pounding back a gallon at a time, so the glycemic load will be low.

Glycemic load considers the AMOUNT of a carb being eaten in one sitting, and not just it's GI value - for instance, the glycemic load of a SMALL amount of HIGH GI carbs can be lower than a HIGH amount of LOW GI carbs - e.g., one teaspoon of sugar will have less impact on insulin than a huge bowl of oatmeal, despite the first being simple carbs, and the latter being complex.

Long story short, if your total daily calories are in check, and you are not lactose intolerant - a cup or two of milk with your shake isn't going to stop your fat loss.

This is interesting..my second meal is a cup of oats and 1 cup (measured) fat free milk. thats the only dairy product i consume in my diet.

The GI of dairy is not high so there for its not a simple carb. The GI and GL of skim milk are low as is fructose. They are two of the lowest GI sugars. But I do agree witht he whole "bang for your buck" thing. I would def. choose oats, or brown rice over milk or fruit.

Agreed, although I'm speaking in terms of chemical structure - as lactose is a disaccaharide (composed of glucose + galactalose) - it's classified as "simple" regardless of GI. Just as something like maltodextrin is classified as "complex" yet it has a high glycemic rating (very close to dextrose).

 

[sublime35]

ahh i see what ya meant. Totally agree on that.

I'm on a maintaining diet or even a little above that, but I am trying to keep my body fat as low as possible. Now, I know that you can't cut and bulk at the same time. I know this, but you can put on muscle while putting on a small amount of fat (a clean bulk). I just wanted to use the no fat milk for : a better tasting shake, more protien, and a way to slow down the rate of aborption of my whey protien shake.
Thanks. This is a very informing and interesting thread! Keep those replies coming.

same here...although since im cutting i only consume 1 cup of non-fat milk w/oatmeal in my second meal..only shake right now is my PWO w/dextrose..

 

[chewyxrage]

Should check out Carb Countdown milk. Good stuff, very low in sugar and high in protein.
