Is Muscle Milk really that good?

**rudolph** · 03-13-2007, 12:13 PM

I just read the Muscle Milk text at the bb.com store and it sounded really good. The whole stuff about the growth factors in mother's milk and so on. Is MM really as anabolic as they claim it is? And does it aid fat loss?

**user34566548717114** · 03-13-2007, 12:16 PM

Its as good as it claims in taste

I think MM is a very good cutting agent actually (despite the high calories) I use it as a meal replacement for breakfast and I get most of my saturated fat in for the day....I find that most people cut virtually all the saturated fat out of there diets when they cut and there testostrone levels start to suffer esp as the calories get lower.....

MM isn't an end all wonder product but its useful if your not getting enough fat in your diet....

Best protein I have used. The taste is beyond belief and the results are awsome.

**tprollin40** · 03-13-2007, 12:36 PM

go with muscle milk light if you are worried about calories and sugar

**Latosaurus Rex** · 03-13-2007, 12:38 PM

the taste is as good as it gets, the fat content is not however

I've never used it so I wouldn't know.....

no one likes me

Would ON's Casein Powder be a better choice if one already gets the proper levels of good fats and wants to just add slow digesting protein at bedtime? (with fewer cals)

**nni** · 03-13-2007, 12:46 PM

not a fan of it. i feel there are proteins that taste great without the high fat content.

From what i have read in reviews, the shake is too thick and the taste is not too good.

**nni** · 03-13-2007, 12:53 PM

if you are looking for a casein blend evopro is a better choice over muscle milk as is sustain and ultra peptide.

**rudolph** · 03-13-2007, 01:25 PM

Um....isn't the fat actually one of the good things about MM? After all if the fat is healthy fat it's not a bad thing.

But I wonder if Dymatize Mega Milk is as good as MM or not. Can anybody comment on this?

**Wayneizgod** · 03-13-2007, 01:35 PM

It tastes amazing..UHHHH i could go for one right now

**liftjunkie06** · 03-13-2007, 02:03 PM

The taste = unrivaled.
The claims = bogus.
The cost = too high.

I have used this a few times. I did not see anything worth justifiying the potential side effects or the cost. It does taste great, however.

The fat in MM is actually glorified canola oil, it contains high amounts of glycocyamine, and the protein is okay. I love cytosport, but i would go for the evopro or cytogainer--I am taking cytogainer and have taken evopro--it's pretty good.

there are also a lot of rip-offs that should be pretty close, but the will probably fall short in the taste category.

These are only my opinions, though. See link below for a t-nation review.

I got horchata flavor and it's so delicious! (can't help it, I'm Hispanic)

Anyway, definately agree on the fat intake. I usually have two whole eggs in the morning made with a tablespoon of olive or canola oil, otherwise by the end of the day I find that I didn't get any fat in my diet. Muscle Milk definately helps get in healthy fats as well. Some people make the mistake of cutting out ALL saturated fat, which is actually a bad idea.

*canola oil is fine.
*I believe Cytosport said that it's fine anyways because it should be okay so long as there is another ingredient in a certain ratio(I think it was betaine anhydrous, but I can't remember).
*I believe they took out the glycocyamine(excpet for the old batches, which bb.com still has and I recieved when I last ordered).

Wow, this sucks!

LOL!

one of my buddies uses it and he says it kicks ass, especially in taste, and if you are, like some people, worried about the fat content, you can always go with the light version, which is what he uses

and the great thing is that the taste is pretty much the same

Can anyone answer this question? I'm curious as well how DE compares.

**ffbattousai06** · 03-13-2007, 06:29 PM

17g of fat. Fat tastes good!

**user17220944** · 03-13-2007, 06:36 PM

**** yeah it is. it's given me nothing but good results and the delicious taste is just the icing on the cake

I haven't tried the ON Casein yet, but I am currently using ON's Pro Complex PM Chocolate flavor. Mixed with milk it is much thicker than the standard Whey and not nearly as tasty, but I have a rather generous taste spectrum so it's not a real big problem for me. It tastes a lot like the Met Rx shakes that come in pouches that have 37-40 grams of protein in them. Thicker but certainly not unedible.

**Ball4Life** · 03-13-2007, 06:50 PM

what flavor do you guys use?

**bernbabybern820** · 03-13-2007, 07:12 PM

lol you could close your eyes and pick one and it would taste amazing. pick whatever sounds intriguing.

**JWP58** · 03-13-2007, 07:41 PM

All i hear is how good MM tastes....it tastes like crap to me to be honest.

**compan** · 03-13-2007, 07:53 PM

i like the taste of the MMs iv tried (Cn'C, chocolate mint). although, MM is kinda fatty.

**dsade** · 03-13-2007, 08:44 PM

Dymnatize I would rate as a 9 to MM's 10 from a straight flavor content. A far better option, with an almost equally good flavor is (as mentioned above) Ultra-Peptide or Peanut Butter Fudge Sustain.
