I had to reply here in the Calcium thread. No fat milk? try Powdered Milk. It works great in shakes... in sauces and when cold...just plain. You will develop a taste for it with no problems. Also, i read how important Calcium is for the body and that it actually helps "break down fat particles" getting ready to flush those fat cells out of the body. Good to know, stuff!! So...i drink more Calcium now!! and i like Powdered Milk just fine. No fat in Milk is good.

i prefer milk

 

[Exordus]

2% Milk for me. Can't stand skim.

 

[Missfit4all]

That's Ok, some choose 2 drink it straight from the Cow! It's ALL good!!! My better half buys it by the Carton...i buy by the box.

I have started to drink 2-3 protein shakes a day. I will drink one right when I wake up with MILK, and another with MILK right before bed. I will drink another with WATER right after lifting workouts. I definately prefer the taste of my shakes with MILK (I use skim). In fact, I look forward to my daily morning shake as soon as I wake up.

i usually mix mine with water cause i'm at the gym and there is nothing around, but it makes me sick to my stomach; however, when i mix it with milk the upset stomach thing goes away.

samething with me. i always have the worst stomach ache after training
and talking a shake with water afterward. I kinda feel that way eating after
training with anything though

i posted on the first page of this post that i mix with milk, well i have now switched to water.

I use water before and after workouts, then at bedtime. All other times I mix my whey with milk.

 

[Arrhar!!]

3 glasses of milk with 2 scoops whey before bed.
1 glasses of milk with 3 scoops whey in the morning.
1 glasses of tap water with 5 scoops whey post workout.

2 scoops of whey with 1 glass of mik every 2 hours.
at the end of the day, 30 scoops of whey + 1.5 gallon of milk.

Umm, just how big are your scoops of whey? My scoop is about 30g (23g protein).

I can't fathom that you take that much protein if your scoop is the same or similiar in quantity to mine. You'd be going through a 5lb container of protein powder every few days.

 

[Arrhar!!]

i bought a fucking huge 20kg bulk

 

[Arrhar!!]

that's right baby, 20kg of whey in a HUGE giant bag.

 

[Island Roots]

So how much of each scoop is actually protein? Not all of it is protein.

 

[XcelKrush]

Thats around 1000 grams a day....

Anyways if you guys dont like the taste of whey with water, try adding a packet of splenda to it. It doesnt taste as good milk still but the sick watered down taste is gone.

skim milk , 2 scoops vanilla, low fat yogurt for tha flavor. Tastes great. Use one of those hand held mixmaster things and blends up in like 20 seconds. Rinse out the cup and its all good until 2 hours later.keep it all beside the sink , easy easy.

Milk all the way - adds protein

 

[GFR]

I use mudd.

The other guy on these forums... "godhand"...?

Swears he ejaculates into his shake mix, and adds human breast milk he buys online...

He claims there is no substitute for the natural hormones, (made by god)
and he's added 30lbs to his bench!?

Anyone explain to me:

why drinking milk with whey at night is not the best choice for bulking?
Milk slows down the digestion of the whey which is why is preferred throughout at night. Since you're sleeping and will not need the protein for energy...I been using fat-free milk and all along i thought it was the best choice.

 

[chris2489]

I mix mine with sugar free fruit punch.

The reason why you want a slow digesting protein isn't just for the energy - it is to give you a supply of amino acids should your body require them.

Milk is also great at night - But milk, contrary to popular belief, will not delay the digestion of the whey to any appreciable extent... so you do want to combine it with something slower to digest - and the whey is not your best source of protein for this. The reason being is that whey is a rapidly digesting protein so it will quickly be absorbed.

Something like milk, cottage cheese and a healthy fat such as walnuts would give you a great mixture.

 

[The Monkey Man]

Something like, cottage cheese

 

[MuscleM4n]

Milk AND water

With water on waking (so the protein can be absorbed ASAP).

other times with milk.

 

[dihsui]

I mix my protein shakes along with soy milk (lactose intolerant) and water

 

[Addiction]

Try using orange juice with your shakes. (Vanilla and Strawberry) Tastes pretty damn good!! Use milk if your bulking....

 

[NeilPearson]

I don't drink protein shakes... I eat chicken breasts instead
