Along the lines of pwo, what does everyone think about muscle milk? I know that it has whey which is good post workout, however it has something like 16 grams of fat. Will this slow digestion/make it less ideal?

Not good. Muscle milk is very slow absorbing, the opposite of what you want post workout.
Muscle milk is best used right before bed time.
Stick with whey protein after a workout!

Muscle milk pwo = even worse (mostly because it is too high in fats).
You are best to go and get yourself a good quality WPI and use that.

Hey Emma, what do you recommend in the form of a protien or MRP powder that you consider to be ok?
I am not sure of the brands in America... Being in Australia I tend to use Australian brands.BigDyl said:
But PWO any good quality WPI is good... You can do a hydrolysed whey if you REALLY want - but the difference is so minimal it is really not worth the extra $$.
Pre-workout (in a shake ~30-45 mins prior) then a WPC is a good option too. This is slightly lower than a WPI and will therefore ensure good amino acid concentrations during your workout (however - so would a solid meal eaten ~ 1-1.5 hrs prior).
For Meal replacements then I recommend a protein blend of casein, egg, milk, whey and/or soy (depending on your preference). Both whey and soy are pretty rapidly digested so you certainly want to mix them with a slower source as well... I don't like pre-made carb blends - and would always elect to add my own (oats, milk, fruit, fibre etc) along with some healthy fats (linseeds, walnuts, olive oil, PB etc).
