optimum pro complex PM or met-rx apm 60?
i was looking around for a protein that i could take before i go to bed, i know cottage cheese is good but i don't really like the taste, and milk is good too but i'm cutting and i don't want the carbs. has anybody tried either the optimum pro complex pm or met-rx apm 60? i'm a fan of vanilla flavors. how do these taste? thanks.
edit: both of these use milk protein or calcium caseinate, which is why i thought they would be good for before bed.

ive been using the apm 60 chocolate flavor, I used to wake up hungry in the middle of the night and now i dont, its really thick so if you like thick shakes with low carbs go with it.

i have insider information that prolabs new mrp for the p.m is freaking amazing. I hear it tastes bomb diggity, and the ingredients are superb. Micellean is better than the above mentioned imo.

I like MaxMuscle's High 5 for a pm shake. 52 gms protein, and 2 carbs. Pro Complex is good, but I don't like all the added vitamins, as I take a ton separately.

I just finished 2.2lbs of Optimum's Pro Complex, Vanilla Flavored, and loved it. Sometimes for extra carbs in the form of sugars I mix it with skim milk and a handful of fresh blueberries. If you need suggestions on MRP you should try Optimum's Opti-Pro meal, Double Rich Chocolate. I am not sure if they make this in vanilla. Hope this helps.

Pro Complex PM only has 25 g of protein in it, which is a very small amount, so I wouldn't recommend it.

The Optimum Pro Complex PM has ZMA and calcium in it. Doesnt make sense if they cancel each other out. I take 2 scoops of MuscleMilk at night.

Optimum Nutrition is the best invention since sliced bread, didn't you know that?
Never ever doubt Optimum's stuff. You might as well be banned from the board.

Sorry RippedUp but unlike other newbies I actually read alot of other ZMA posts before I replied to this one. There are a substantial number of opinions that suggest separating calcium intake and ZMA by at least 30 minutes if not more. Some ZMA labels even advise the same.
It is a fair question as to why the Almighty Optimum would put out a product with calcium and ZMA in it.

The simple fact that they have a liquid creatine product in their range should answer your question.Originally posted by madlaw

I have just finished a pack of Pro Complex PM. Tastes great, but only has 25 grams of protein. Kind of expensive, too. I was a little disappointed, too, when I saw that they included ZMA in there with other calcium products.

I like Max Muscle's Max Pro. Costs less than Pro Complex and MetRx too.
And while I agree that IsoPure is a good protein, I wouldn't use it as my pm source.

I had great results with AMP 60. I tried the vanilla, and it tasted pretty good. It made a very thick shake even with 8-10 oz of water. However, it filled me up for the night, and I recovered mych quicker.
