Nightime Meal
What's better to have before going to sleep, a whey protein shake with 1-2 tbsp flax oil, or something like muscle milk?

I would suggest the least calories of the 2.. low carbs for sure...

the carbs before bed myth has been debunked (thanks Ginatz) but I would go with a nice pro/fat meal. Cottage cheese is nice good protein, and fat. You could have a shake with cottage cheese to reach the amount of protein you need. So cottage cheese your shake and some more fat I like peanut butter but you could use oil

Does pb have EFAs? That's the real reason I wanted to add the flax. Also, the muscle milk is mostly a protein/fat drink since the carbs are fairly low.

It has a ton of sugar in it, along with fat...which isn't a real good thing.
For your nighttime meal, try either cottage cheese like the guys are recommending w/some nuts or peanut butter, or a protein shake made with whey concentrate or even egg protein/whey mix, as they're slower absorbtion than whey isolate. Add some flax oil to the shake, or just eat the nuts or pb...

i would never use any form of whey before i go to bed - it gets digested too quickly
you need slow digesting protein before you sleep to slowly drip feed you protein throughout the night (or as long as poss)
if you really want a shake use a Casein shake, not Whey
better still just eat a big serving of cottage cheese with almonds - the fat in the almonds will slow digestion further

Not exactly "low in sugar" imo
besides.. 18g fat/6g sugar per scoop isn't ideal whether daytime or nightime imo

I knocked it for many years, tried it, and won't use another blend pre-bed. It's an ideal protein that's been tested over and over...to each his own.

But just because it's the best tasting protein doesn't mean it's the best for achieving your goals imo...

Only said it was the best tasting AS WELL....however, taste is merely an add on, I'd use it either way.
But - it IS without, the best tasting - that part no one will deny.

6g sugar aint too bad i suppose but it aint too good either seeing as standard whey
has about 2 -3g per serving
i would prefer to go with standard whey or Casein and
add my own EFA's
there are plenty of great tasting products on the market
i dont think i will ever buy muscle milk
the only way that i'd even try it is if i got it for free
and even then i'd use it as back up in case any of my
other powders run out

You got fat or didnt lose fat because your overall calories were at a surplus. So, re-evaluate your diet.
As far as reading labels, 99% of companies with say "Use 3 times a day" or for creatine "load for 5 days...etc." Why? Because they want you to use more product, so you buy more product, so they make MOOO MONEY......it's quit simple. Always research the product before purchasing...........and ALWAYS read the labels....shit, I don't buy detergent without reading the labels...well, maybe not that extreme, but that is the problem I have with many organic substances...no label!

I keep my sugars below 10 grams a day, the only sugar I intake right now is vegetables or fruits right after a work out so MM doesn't neccesarily fit my diet. Everyone reacts differently to sugars - for me sugar just swings my energy levels up and down too quickly and of course - doesn't help the appearance.

Hahahahahaha
look at what this dipshit wrote as a review of muscle milk:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MMMM TASTY, Nov 12, 2005
reviewer: Mike from Staten Island, NY USA
The only way you can appreciate the taste of MuscleMilk, is to experience bad tasting protein which includes around 8/10 protein shakes. You might be turned off by the 16-17grams of fat and especially 8 grams that are saturated fat, but don't be worried, you do not get fat from this drink. These fats are burned as energy, not stored in the body. I recommend drinkig MM after your workout, but you can also drink it an hour before your workout to insure that you have the nutrients in your body to perform your best during your workout. I've seen people drink this during there workout insteade of a Gaterade because it has just enough carbs to give you energy to continue your workout. I would recommend taking some kind of sports drink with carbs during your workout, because water only hydrates you, meanwhile you need carbs in your body to make up for the ones you burn during your workout. I drink the ready to drink (RTD) MuscleMilk's, but the powder is the same thing. I like the chocolate milk, and mocha joe flavors the best.
