does muscle milk make you fat?

I know they say that it burns fat but if you drink it right before bed will you gain fat?

only if youre way over your caloric maintenance needs

Muscle Milk is one of the leaner protein shakes... as far as I am concerned.

You are more likely to gain a little more fat by taking it before bed, due to the fact your metabolism is working at a much lower capacity in sleep. However, this is a great time to take the shake still. It ensures your muscles have the nutrients to repair whilst sleeping...

Overall, you won't see significant increases in fat for it to really matter in my opinion.

no, and nutrient timing does not really matter so as long as the balance is equal to what you need to gain/lose per day

depends on what else u ate that day..........muscle milk doesnt burn or store fat either, that is dependent on ur diet

Cool.
Thanks guys.

Most likely if your diet is solid and you are training then it won't.

If you're just sipping it down while playing videogames all day or something then yeah.

Is MM a good protein? I know that it taste great.

Or would synth 6 be a better choice.

they're both good proteins, but you have to examine the profile to see what it should be used for.

Syntha 6 and MM are both blends, that's fine for lots of the time, but I'd prefer a 100% whey to take post workout. I like blends for meal replacements and pre-bed, but that's just my .02.

As far as the fat gains that's completely dependent on the rest of your diet, you might have to adjust the rest a bit to meet your macros but it shouldn't be anything to radical.

edit: and how does muscle milk burn fat :confused:
