Water or Milk?

Should you take your protein shake with water or milk?

i heard water was better but ive been using milk, im trying to bulk so i thought the extra calories in milk would help

milk digests slowly i think... so that'll probably affect the absorption time of the protein in ur shake... thats just wut i think tho

Depends on your overall calorie requirements/needs for the day and your tolerence to lactose...

But in terms of PWO - This has been talked about before:
Here (Milk PWO?)
And:
Here (Post Workout Whey)
And:
Here (69g protein in pwo shake too much?)

Yeah, milk makes whey to digest slow.

milks makes, makes milk. Sounds good tough.

It just depends on your prefs and what your already taking in, actually I find mixing with water tastes better but what do I know?

Milk digestion is not that slow.... The GI is low because the rise in glucose occurs slowly due to 50% of the carbohydrates being galactose - which means it requires conversion to glucose in the liver before it will effect blood glucose. So you still get the other 50% glucose in your blood quickly. However, due to the unique combination of the carbohydrates and BCAAs present in milk, it is highly insulinogenic - so you still get a high insulin response.

The casein protein fraction is slower to digest, and it generally seperates out in the stomach, but the liquid fraction of the milk (whey, carbs, electrolytes and water) will continue to be digested without much delay.
