Necessary to have flax in...

[Aggression]

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?

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

Why wouldn't you take muscle milk before bed?

Also, you never answered my second question. Please do

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.

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