    protein powder vs. whole milk.

    Tell me this,
    Whole milk having 8 g or protein per serving, a serving being 1/2 a cup.
    Now a tall glass equals just about 2 cups(atleast mine do)
    so a tall glass has aprox. 32g Protein and 600 cals. If one drinks 2 glasses at a sitting, thats 64 grams of protein, and 1200 cals..

    Now why go out and spend, 35$ on a jug of protein when you can buy 11 gallons on whole milk for that price and get a hell of alot more protein out of it.

    ?!?!?!?!?!?! i dont get it!

    Well, I would suggest eating chicken, fish, or beef for a replacement of powder instead of milk.
    Protein powders are designed for protein, milk is not. You drink 2 glasses of milk before bed for your protein instead of a powder, your going to have milk rotting in your stomach over night.
    Protein powders have blends in them for different absorbtion speeds.
    Also, for a post workout drink, milk protein would not benifit as well as whey.
    If your not worried about fat or sugar, Mix your protein shakes with whole milk.
    IMO, milk is definately not a sufficient alternative to the benifits of a powder.

    Milk has lactose(bad) even for an ecto. Sugar is sugar, nothing healthy about it. Protein powder is cleaner and healthier.
