Better with Protein, Milk or Water

[Careless22]

The problem is actually a non-problem. I know that is not a valid statement per philosophy but hear me out.
Flooding your body with tons of fast acting proteins does not mean you are going to get swole. A good exercise routine, plus decent diet of hitting macros, plus enough rest equals swoliosis.

lol i hear ya and agree
I just think it makes more sense(it wont make you swole, but it cant hurt) to have a fast digesting protein directly after workout, but for the rest of the day i believe in IIFYM ofcourse. i eat ice cream every day lol

maybe its the milk?[if you're mixing it with milk]
i switched to almond milk and i haven't had the bad farts that i usually get when i mix protein with milk.

considering humans are the only animals who drink another animals millk(hence why so many people have problems with dairy, specifically milk)...it very well could be the milk.
I switch off between 1%-2% and almond milk. I even like mixing half and half.

Half and Half + 1 scoop XF cinna-roll = teh sex

you eat ice cream every day..yet, think one should have a fast-digesting protein after workouts?

interdasting IIFYM philosophy.

not only that - but we are the only species that drinks milk of any kind into adulthood.

i used to drink 1/2 to 1 full gallon daily.
always wondered why i had thick mucous, minor problems breathing sometimes, and tiny little red dots on my skin at times.
i've use dairy sparingly since 2004 - and all those aforementioned problems went away and have never returned.

My guess is this isn't from the GOMAD or 1/2GOMAD...

that was the most ginormous freaking trollface i ever seen.


and nah - wasn't the GOMAD protocol.
i just loved the taste of freaking milk!
never been a soda drinker, so it was milk & water for me.
now, it's just water. (and tea/coffee)

If I'm at home I'll always use skim or 1% milk with my protein, it tastes far better and adds a bit more protein/calories if you need it. After the gym I'll mix it with water, as it's about a 25 minute drive from my gym back to my house.

Yeah I usually use 1% milk for a little extra calories to get me thru to lunch 💪💪👍👍👍

Whatever you enjoy more! I often say water only because the protein tends to mix better when shaken and some people don't digest it well. Also some may want to avoid the calories. There are other options too like almond milk!
