Milk depends on your goals., whole fat milk apprently is better for you then skim from studies i have read.
Go mad diet rocks if you wanna take your dead and squat over 400lbs
shredding down to single digit body fat not so much.
Muscle milk is expensive, i dont get the hype. I use the 35g whey isolate from Costco 1 carb and no filler.
Save your money and buy non seasoned/flavored boneless skinless chicken breast and skip the protein powder. whole foods will make you bigger stronger faster.

I used everything under the sun since I get it for damn near free. Syntha gives me gas like no other. Muscle milk is aight, but the ingredients are a little wack IMO. Since I have been cutting I don't use anything but straight whey really, maybe a tiny bit of muscle milk every once in a while. Just mix it with egg whites and oats and it's gTg.

Syntha 6, ISO 100 and myofusion. The first two are the best tasting, they are actually very good. I will add a cup of blueberrys or dark cherrys to the myofusion and sometimes to syntha 6. The iso 100 is so good I don't want to mess with it.

The Syntha does taste good, but there is no way I would pay for that shit. If I did pay for my supps I would just use whey and liquid egg whites. . . But for free, it's great

No protein shake will ever replace proper nutrition. I limit my shakes to one a day on non work out days (upon waking, the first thing I have) and two on work out days (one upon waking and one after a work out). I use Optimum Nutrition or Forza Pro and each shake consists of: 2 scoops of protein powder, 1 cup of oats, 8 tbsp Greek yogurt, 6 tbsp egg whites, 1 cup almond milk, and 1 banana. It provides 850 calories, 9g of fat, 78g protein, 105g carbs.
As a general rule of thumb, the sweeter (or better tasting) your protein powder, the more sugar it is likely to have. Try to avoid protein powders where one of the first few ingredients is maltodextrin. That artificial sweetener is 7 times sweeter than normal cane sugar and is the main culprit for spiking insulin and promoting fat retention in many of the protein powders on the market - especially those sold as "mass gainers" (nothing more than fat gainers IMO).

i just came reading this. people dont get it.. protein powder is bad causes cancer, misinformed micros on actual protein and and the large amount of sugar, buy unflavored whey iso to start but still look at the actual ingredients and Google them so you understand.

My ? Is should I buy this instead of on gold as I have been doing and add some off your ingredients obviously to fit my macros and cutting diet
My only shakes are breakfast and bedtime
Breakfast 2:1 protein &oats
Bedtime 1 1/2 scoops of protein
All my other food is real
I want to change as its cheaper to buy the bulk than optimum nutrition I was thinking maybe something along the lines off
Breakfast 2 scoops pro 1/2 cup oats 1/2 cup egg whites 1 tablespoon natty pb
Bedtime 1 scoop pro 1/2 cup egg white 2 tablespoons ff Greek yoghurt
Would these work?

well.. whey iso is great, i mean it should be one of the first ingredients for any protien powder. sugar causes insulin spike. but there are times you need those things... like right after your work out. sugar is actually a good thing then.. i dont like splenda.. has a lot of research saying its bad.. same with agave syrup.
