Title: Muscle Milk RTD instead of Muscle Milk powder at bedtime?
Post by: Jimmy L on August 27, 2007, 11:26:45 AM: Is drinking Muscle Milk RTD at bedtime instead of the powder mix just as effective for a bedtime drink?

Is drinking Muscle Milk RTD before bedtime an effective bedtime drink?

The mixed protein/fat combo would indeed make it good for a nighttime protein.

tastes great also...the rtds can get expensive so i stick with the powder...usually do 2scoops of the choc with tablespoon of natural peanut butter before bed.

only time i dont use it is when im dieting. then i'll switch over to a plain whey/casein mix.

If its more convienent in RTD, but they are the same and it does make a good bedtime drink.

Side note:The powder form would be much less expensive and you have about 28 flavors to pick from!

Carbs? 18gms fat?, 1/2 sat fat (or mct's ::)) caseinate as primary? better off with a decent time release and a tbs of pb. THe occasional RTD is nice for taste but nightly.... Get ready for some chub chub.

Fish oil by itself won't do shit to prevent muscle catabolism. Get in some whole food sources like lean steak, salmon, or a couple tablespoons of natural peanut butter. Your body still needs the calories to keep from eating up muscle.

As for the Muscle Milk, like somebody else said, they're decent on occasion but not the best choice for a regular meal. It'd be one thing if they had fewer carbs, but a high-fat/moderately high-carb drink isn't ideal.
