Is muscle milk any good and is it too high in calories? Please help, trying to find a good shake but also good in calories. This one is 20 grams of protein but 150 in calories..
I love my muscle milk, BUT it is high in calories, so what I do is have it for breakfast as my meal since in the am I am not that hungry anyway. There are alot of lower calorie drinks, but that Choclate Mint muscle milk - just LOVE IT!!! I have been buying the light cause only has 150 calories as compared to 230, but GOOD STUFF in my eyes! Good luck
it sounds like the Muscle Milk you picked up is the light vesion, You can go to any good health store and find a protein, check out Champion brand - I know ther are 3 nutrition wharehouse's in the valley and they have sample / single serving sizes of protein drinks - I strongly suggest you try a couple before you buy any large containers - I love the Sytrax products and use more Matrix ( milk type ) and Nectar ( fruity drinks ) they both have 23 grams of protein and about 120 calories -

Thanks guys- you guys are great and appreciate the help and support.
Thanks to my friends!!!!!!!!!
Hey tjere.
Just a note about having all protein grams for the day in one drink. Our bodies can only absorb approx 30 grams of protein in one nutritonal intake. More than that just gets flusehd down the potty..... ASBS guidelines suggest 3 protein drinks spread throughout the day so we can maintain satiety and have optimum nutrition.
20 to 25 protein grams per 90 to 120 calories is the best ratio. (Whey)

Hey Karen,
I noticed further down in this thread you mentioned your trainer recommended muscle milk. If you don't mind me asking, who is your trainer? I live in Safford and I am going to need a good one eventually. Right now I go to 8th Fitness and they have a trainer there, is that your guy?

I rarely do protein supplements anymore, try to get it all in with meat, but early on MM was my favorite. Banana Cream and Mocha flavors were a nice departure from the usuals...sugar was only like 3 grams. I bought mine at The Vitamin Shoppe for about 3 bucks each - the Ready-To-Drinks always sat better - less foamy then when I use my blender..
