I only tried the MM light and didn't like the taste. I did really like Myogenix Myolean Evolution though. Good protein, good taste, without the huge hordes of fats and carbs.

It's high in calories, so basically yes.
Look for a lean protein such as Muscle Gauge Isolate/Blend or XF Whey or ON or really most standard protein powders on the market.
The XF is the best tasting of the leaner ones, Myofusion is slightly less lean but very tasty and much better than Muscle Milk macro wise for cutting.Latest Reviews:

cant believe the stupid **** being said in this thread. 12 grams of fat is a lot? really? Even if you are cutting thats still fine. Some people just dont get it and youd think with 4000 posts you might learn something on this forum. Muscle Milk is completely fine no matter what your goals are. I used it on a cut and got ripped, its all about total daily calories not the bull**** these idiots are trying to preach. i cant stand it. MM is one of the best tasting proteins and if you use a half serving in milk you have yourself a very good MRP with decent protein content that isnt too costly. /thread

I don't use muscle milk. It tastes o.k.- not fantastic like stated. All the whey cinamon bun, oats and milk blows it away x 10. It has complex protein though and I guess it works. The problems are that it is rediculously priced per shake in 7 eleven- like $4 I think and even when you got a steal for $20 a tub, it is still $1.40 each. Whey at $30/ 5 lbs is 80 servings of 30g protein or 38 cents each. Maltodextrin is $1/ lb in bulk. Not to mention, I don't want to be forced to slug down sugar when it is not needed. If I go for dinner at a restaurant, I might need a little protein and no carbs, muscle milk just does not fit into the mix.
Oh and the douche above, DONTBEADICK!

Your body converts saturated fat to cholesterol for testosterone synthesis so you need some. 6 grams isn't a lot and they do come from MCT's which are burned as energy fairly fast so I doubt it would contribute anything negative. I really don't think you can make a case for MCT's doing anything unhealthy to your body. Besides, it has fiber which has a positive effect on cholesterol.

lol, I do agree with you but I think it should be rationed. So, for someone new to this I don't like seeing them hooked on just one kind of protein and end up consuming a large amount of it and therefore consuming too much of the saturated fats. I get plenty in my diet so I like the leaner options, but I agree that MCT's do have their use!
