Does coffee effect the protein or the way the body absorbs it?
I know mixing the 2 in a glass wont change it. I just wonder if it isn't used as effectively in the body.

    No. Infact I like to mix my Vanilla Whey, Milk, Coffee, and some Ice and pretend I'm having an Iced coffee. Throw in a splash of Vanilla extract too if you're feeling saucy. Maybe some vanilla ice cream if you're bulking.

    I drink 14 ounces of coffee, 2 ounces of half and half, and one scoop of protein powder every day for breakfast. Apparently my body must be absorbing it effectively because I've been maintaining my lean body mass wonderfully despite the fact that I am eating at an enormous deficit.

    I do this too. But with a little spoon of Green and Blacks cocoa powder and almond milk instead of normal. Delicious.
