mourning or at night...i already have one for PWO

[djansen]

I say pm.

Whenever you need the macros that it supplies. Do you have a pre-bed protein regiment? How is you early morning nutrition? Some people do not like to take in carbs late at night so it is a good option, others find fat laden products problematic at night and take it elsewhere in their day; it all depends on you.

I prefer to use MM early in the morning as I mix it with organic oats or hot cereal and FF Milk to supply 70gcarbs, 40g protein, 18g fat while I stick to my own blend from TP for PWO and normally ProPeptide or Ultra Peptide at night.

I'm suprised you started this thread, you've been around the site long enough to know when they are best utilized.

I would say whenever you can't get a whole food meal in.

I also wouldn't recommend post workout, due to the 18g of fat.

[ZDub212]

Preworkout. I wouldn't have it at any other time.

take it B4 BED. muscle milk is mostly slow digesting protien. even the bottle says take it b4 bed. during the day food and a fast digesting protien shake(AST for example)pre and post workout will suffice. The fat is EFA's. I took this for 4 months b4 bed. Didnt gain any fat what so ever of it. My recovery was a little better and i wasnt starving in the morning.

Why before bed? The high amount of saturated fats/MCTs and lesser amount of protein (In comparison to, Ultra Peptide for example) would not be ideal before bed IMO, but preworkout certainly.

I can't rep you again.

Anyway, what Zach and Rod said.

the amount of Sat fat is not going to be negative. You actually need a little to promote healthy testosterone production. I personally never tried Peptide so i cant say anything about it. MCT's also promote positive nitrogen balance and are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. i looked it up and MILK has 32g and Peptide has 23g? im pretty sure im looking at the right supp.

preworkout u want something that the body is going to absorb quickly.
b4 bed i took muscle milk. u grow when u rest not in the gym. thats when ur body repairs the muscle. it would make sense to give the fuel it needs b4 bed. empty stomach wouldnt no good. u can even just eat a multi grain bagel w/ peanut butter and a cup of cottage chees if u want.
not saying its needed but it would help a lot.

If you want to compare protein content for Ultra Peptide and Muscle Milk, you have to remember Muscle Milk is 2 scoops per serving.

But the fats in muscle milk are mainly for energy, not for a sustained release, therefore, I don't think MM would be ideal prebed. Muscle Milk has 32g per 2 scoops (1 serving, tub has 15) whereas Ultra Peptide has 46g per 2 scoops and 14 servings (28 servings of 23g, 14 servings of 46g).

Ultra Peptide (Or any high quality casein/whey blend) + Healthy Fats is your best choice for prebed IMO. Muscle Milk is a great shake preworkout though.

u need energy to rebuild muscle bro. to grow. who cares about 2 scoops..big deal. "Ultra Peptide (Or any high quality casein/whey blend) + Healthy Fats is your best choice for prebed IMO" u just descibed muscle milk bro. the OP asked what time should he should take his muscle milk and a gave an anwser. i can tell this going to go 4ever so to each his own.. i looked at some of the profiles pics and stats on here and im didnt see anything impressive or results that what is being done works. nothing personal no disrespect. happy lifting im out.

[JH34PG]

[Elliptical Envy]

You just have to do what works best for you.

[cashdoo]

I take a serving of musclemilk prebed and either cytogainer or whey at other tiems during the day.

Please, no bro stuff.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here.

The point is, Muscle Milk is an excellent preworkout shake, and it's not bad before bed, but I'd prefer Ultra Peptide + Healthy fats because I believe it's a much better combo prebed.

[getbustered]

I would recommend taking it whenever you feel like having a Muscle Milk shake.

[JH34PG]

MM is predominently casein protein...so isnt casein best prebed?!?!

[NutrabolicsJon.]

mourning or at night...i already have one for PWO

I would do it for Breakfast.
