Necessary to have flax in...
my muscle milk protein shake when I take it before bed? I know you're supposed to have flax in your protein shake before you go to bed because it slows absorbtion of protein.
Here's the thing, muscle milk protein shakes have 18 g of fats that are supposedly "good" fats. So, would adding another 14 g from the flax be overkill? That would mean 32 g of "good" fats before bedtime (keep in mind I'm cutting). Should I drop the flax and take the shake by itself?
Also I heard steak and salmon both have EFA's in them. If that's the case than do I need to take another fat source with them (for example olive oil on the salmon) or can I eat them by themselves?Last edited by Aggression; 09-16-2004 at 11:54 PM.

I recommend you don't have muscle milk before bed.

Salmon has EFA's, yes, steak AKA red meat does not.

scrap the Muscle Milk...
Go with 0 carb protein shake with 1-1.5tlbs flax oil in it.
...it's that easy.

So how about if I take Evopro protein (makers of muscle milk) two times during the day: Once before I workout with 1/2 cup of oatmeal (with splenda and cinnamon mixed in) and 1 medium sized red apple and once before bed with one tbsp of flax oil?
Also, if salmon ALREADY has EFA's in it, do I need to take a fat source with it? I was thinking of broiling it with a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. I was also thinking of eating my steak with 1/4 cup of whole natural almonds.Last edited by Aggression; 09-17-2004 at 12:06 PM.

Hey slizznut, would evopro be a better choice for me seeing that I'm cutting?
