Thread: Quick Question about my new Protein

I lift 4x/week and am 6' 178 lbs. 22 yr old male. I am looking to build more muscle, while reducing the fat.

My friend told me that I shouldnt be taking the Protein Powder w/ milk because the milk absorbs it too quickly. He suggested water. What do you all reccomend?

Also, Right now Im doing 3 scoops with 2% milk right after my workout. Should I go for 1 scoop before, 1 after, and 1 before bed??

thanks in advance

First of all post your overall daily diet on the diet forum and we can help you better.

its the other way around, milk slows down the process. After a workout, you dont want to drink it with milk, drink it with water and some sort of carbs like oats.

Solid advice, but I personally prefere faster acting carbs like dextrose or maltodextrin post-workout.
