Muscle Milk

Instead of muscle milk, try Jay Robb protein powder. It is all natural and the BEST!!!

Darn, I saw this at Whole Foods and didn't get it. Does it taste good? How well does it mix with water?

if its chocolate, it doesn't go well with fruit. personally I don't like fruit in protein drinks, period, usually just slug em as they are.

I rather just enjoy the fruit itself : )

What flavor did you get?

+1 I have the Strawberry flavored muscle milk and I mix it with skim milk. It tastes better with milk than with water.

I say eh--- with the muscle milk. It has stabilizers like maltodextrin... that's a corn byproduct. Gross. Who thought you were eating corn with your protein shake?

Use whey protein...

But honestly myself, I go with don't worry about protein shakes.

protein...whey....helps with losing weight and muscle repair and recovery after work outs.

There are many on the market....I actually drink called ORYX its goats milk...I mix 2 scoops with 4 oz water and slam it down....tastes like cake batter. I have been drinking shakes since 2001.

I found body fortress to be gritty. GNC has some good ones but they can get costly. Any muscle milk products taste really sweet to me so I dont use them but my former trainer does. He is also a competitive body builder.

Protien is important in the weight loss procedure. Most people up their protein when they hit a stall and then it starts all over again. I am not saying consuming protein will make you a muscle monster or slim and trim it does help tho, I have read that getting 30 % of your cals from protein works better for weight control and your body composition than getting the standars amount which is 15%.

Some people opt not to use them....some people supplement their diet with the shakes. Its up to that person. Some people get enough from their diet....I dont and must supplement. I have a requirement that is far less than that of MFP. I dont even post my food diary on here because I cant follow the intake suggested....I keep food journals by hand.

You will get a mixed bag of suggestions as to consume or not, whey or soy, how many and so on. Just remember you and your goals are unique to you. Also...your body only absorbs about 50 gr protein at one time so dont drink 2 or more......only extreme body builders can absorb that much.

As for mixing things in it....remember to count the cals and carbs and so on. I used to add sugar free tang or sugar free nesquik. I have even added my leftover coffee. Now...nothing. SYNTRAX NECTAR makes some good ones....

good luck

FYI, go to customize goals to change your carb-protein-fat ratio in MFP. HTH

ASTRIDFELINE , thanks for the info. I may eventaully use the food diary but for me it is just easier in my diet minder journals....they fit in my hand bag....I also use one for fitness. I just find it easier to keep track at that moment. I eat numerous times a day and do not always have the puter at my fingertips. I love the journals as they have little spaces to write notes about how you feel or maybe a daily goal you met and also track my vitamins as I take a handful 2x per day.

Oh yeah...love the cat in your ticker. It looks like my Mozart who passed last year at 16 years young!!! He was a well travelled lad....born in Texas, then went to southern IL, northern IL, Boston Ma, and back to northern IL and then to Ar....



thanks
Tammy

ur trying to gain......well that changes everything

I know there is a shake out there that is ready made and has about 900 cals in it...in just one!!! Look at bodybuilding.com they should have them.


good luck
