So you mean to tell me I have to take protein with water?!?!

[Jerellem]

The shit's already barely consumable with milk and milk is more protein right? But I've been hearing ditch the milk and go water. I can't imagine what that's gonna taste like.

[Aplin]

the reason people have it with water is to save on calories

[murphyx500]

i thought it was because it is absorbed quicker if you take it with water.

[MrSmall]

absorbing and the speed of such is bs you'll get it anyway

buy a better tasting protein (read: more expensive)

[TheUnstoppable]

i make my protein shake up with water and it tastes lovely

are you by any chance using an unflavoured variety?

[scurlaruntings]

Milk contains significant amounts of saturated fat. Thats why its better to take it with water. Either way your body will only metabolize what it can and you`ll shit out the rest. Be prepared for some really smelly shits.

If you're eating a balanced diet, you're getting enough protein already. I wouldn't worry about it.

[Ajfourty7]

Yeah it mixes a lot better with water so its better for on the go. But if you're doing it at home and its a low carb protein powder milk can be quite good to add the required sugars.

[TheRock49]

When I do take protein, I personally mix it with skim milk. If I do take a protein mix I normally substitute it for a meal (I have 5 smaller meals throughout the day) because of its added fat and calories, especially when mixed with milk.

[TheRock49]

I do Muscle Milk, cookies and cream. Its quite tasty. Not with water though... gotta be milk.

[elTerrible]

I mix it with water when I take it at the gym. If you have a decent quality brand it will be fine. Probably a fruit flavored one would go better with water.

If you prefer it with milk that is fine. I do that at home sometimes.

I know guys who consume 500 grams of protein a day, they even set their alarms on the bed side table so they can wake in the middle of the night and gulp some more down, but I agree for a normal human you should have a well balanced diet and avoid over priced protein drinks and powders.

It's completely unnecessary and incredibly hard on your kidneys.

I think it mixes better with water and the taste is bad in both so not a huge difference :lol:

I work and go to school so I eat once before 4pm and maybe 2 more times afterwards so maybe I'll be alright with milk seeing as I can't eat much due to my schedule anyways...thanks for the help though.

[Trevor Ross]

nothing wrong with eating normal food ya know :)

Is that how you pull the ladies Scurla? :huh

[scurlaruntings]

I dont take protein :-)

[dwilson]

I dont take protein :-)



In any form?

[scurlaruntings]

In any form?Other than what comes in normal food, correct. I dont take supplements. It simply doesnt interest me.

[Scott Bolinger]

it's up to you to mix it with water. I usually just mix it the way it says on the directions. As long as your doing your protein mix than hitting the gym, I wouldn't worry about extra calalories. Unless your cutting weight as a flyweight.

i'd just fallow the directions and train hard. If you need to add anything extra, add a egg for extra protein, and maybe some sort of fruit and honey and blend it all up.

[johnp]

they all say consume after 20 mins of making.

how the hell are you supposed to make one up in a gym, take a blender in with you and mix it up in the changing room?!? haha

[venomus_p4p]

*****,

Just do what i do...

We ll use 1 cup for example... rather then use 1 cup of water or 1 cup of milk just do half a cup water half a cup milk.
This gives u a better creamier taste, without worrying about TOO many caleries.
Best of both worlds.

My four year old daughter loves your avator pic...:lol:
Funny

I do this too sometimes so I dont go through as much milk as I already have it at every breakfast atleast and I would be buying a lot of milk if I used it everytime.

It depends what works for you. I bring a scoop in a bottle with me separate from my water bottle and just mix it with water right at the gym before I leave. This method has helped me loose weight in a round about way. Previously, I would come home shower and then eat everything in sight because I was mad hungry after working out, I was exercising regularly but overeating after. Now I have the shake there before I leave and by the time I get home I am not hungry and dont over eat. Works for me:thumbsup
