Should I take Muscle Milk in the morning as my breakfast? I bought a tub of this stuff a while ago not knowing anything about proteins and never took it. Ive been taking ON 100% whey and thought it was great but just recently switched to the pro complex. This stuff has lots of fats and carbs and i mean im not looking to get fat, but i wanna take it and use it up so i dont waste the money i spent on it, and now that i got a good diet and workout. Should i just take it in the morning as my breakfast or when should i take it? thanks.

I would use it like a mid-morning/mid-afternoon snack. Muscle milk has slow digesting proteins so it is not good for first thing in morning or post-workout.	birdman2211 Reputation: +1796

thanks birdman, but I go to school at 8 and don't get home until around 6 pm because I have football after school. So there's really no chances for me to take it mid-morning/mid-afternoon. what about at bedtime? I only plan on going through one tub of this.	getbig Reputation: +2

You could but I would only take one scoop due to the high calories.	birdman2211 Reputation: +1796

I would bring a shaker cup with the Muscle Milk powder in it already, then during school you can just fill it up with water and shake it up and enjoy.	Tim40 Reputation: +181

I don't know what your goals are but i would stay away from this at bedtime due to the fats and such. but i agree with bird this is a good early in the day supplement. but before bed i think 100% whey would be good it only has 2.5g of fat per 20g of protein.	nbrink Reputation: +23

If you can afford ON 100% Casein that would be best protein before bed, but like nbrink said ON %100 whey would not be a bad option before bed with some cottage cheese.	Tim40 Reputation: +181
