Muscle Milk RTD instead of Muscle Milk powder at bedtime?

[Jake LaMotta]

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?

I need more info

What is your weight? I only ask because MM only contains 32g protein per serving while having 18g fat per serving. That means that it has more calories from fat than it does from protein. As far as the type of protein that they use it is primarily a casein so the protein is perfect before bed due to the fact that it digests slowly. Now as far as the fat I love to use fat in the diet but there are many higher quality fats than what is in the muscle milk. JMO

Dusty is right in my opinion. Id use either a straight micellar casein or maybe something the like ISS's Micellar Matrix. You want a very slow assimilating protein before bed. I'd save the fats for your meals during the day. One other thing I have to say about MM is that I hear a ton of people say they use it because it tastes good. I guess my question is this.....Yes you want something that tastes good to drink but at the same time you want to put the very best nutrients in your body. MM isn't a horrible product but if you are trying to get the most out of your physique, then why not put the very best into your body. I just wouldn't base my choices on the fact that the product "tastes good" or "I need the calories" because if that was the case Big Macs have a ton of calories, taste good, and there is protein there but I know better than to put that into my body. Smarter choices build better physiques. Just my opinion.

Don't know what the difference is between the RTD and powder mix but I would assume they are the same.

Try some LBA's instead!

Hey bro , I love those RTD Mucsle Milks but they do have alot of fat especialy for a pre bed drink , I thiink that they would make a great drink for the first thing in the am though.

I buddy gave me one of his EAS Myoplex RTD shakes today , not quite as good tasting as the Muscle Milk they are good , way more protine and way less fat.

But I think that Aminos would alos be a very good idea , I may try that as I continue to tighten up my diet and begin my cycle
