Whey Protein Powder... Milk or Water?

[edro13]

I never really noticed how much protein is in Skim Milk! I have been drinking one scoop of Designer Whey Chocolate, mixed with 20 oz of Skim Milk every morning instead of Slim Fast. I haven't really noticed a change though.

Do you guys mix your Whey powder with Water or Skim Milk?

Is that an OK breakfast if I eat a fruit or nut snack 2-3 hours later?

Here are the Nutritional facts:
Designer Whey (1 scoop) + Skim (20 oz) Calories: 218
Calories from Fat: 25
Fat: 2.5
Sat. Fat: 1
Sodium: 270
Carbs: 20
Protein: 30

Should I add a pouch of instant oatmeal?

I am cutting just so you know...

Thanks for any input!
I greatly appreciate it!

I use skim milk, taste better and fills me up.

[edro13]

What's the Gatorade powder gonna do?

[candle25]

Gatoraid has dextrose in it which is a great carb source post wo and aids in recovory.

no wish they did...
you have to use vanilla protein
mix in fuit punch or orange gatorade powder
remember to use water

but it really works i just learned about it im seeing gains allready...

[edro13]

Thanks for the tip!

[edro13]

Wait... so how much gatorade powder do I use? Does it measure in scoops or in pouches?

So... if I am using a 20oz bottle, should I do 1 or 2 Whey scoops? How much Gatorade powder with that?

Sorry for all the questions, I just wanna develop the correct habits early on.

Thanks!

Use as much Gatorade so that it tastes good. You don't want to be drinking something really thick and gross, nor do you want something that tastes like water.

As a general rule, use water immediately p/w and first thing in the morning, and milk any other time.

oh i use milk in the morning should i not be?

[solidus2k3]

crystal light workout perfect to me,but if i;m out of it i use ice cold water it's disgusting with warm water

[ripped_holla]

It is digusting with water that isn't ice-cold.

In the morning, you are highly catabolic - using muscle for energy. I guess it really doesn't matter that much (milk vs. water), but water will get it in your system faster which means catabolism will end sooner. I don't think it's that big of a deal though.

I drink it with water.
