Musclemilk made by Cytosport


I use this stuff after workouts at the gym. Its kinda expensive ready to drink but comes in powder form. It's really yummy and comes in a ton of flavors. I tried Banana (my fave) MochaJoe, cookies and cream and chocolate mint. Anyway each 16 oz. serving has 23g protien and like 3 sugers.

Anyone else tried them?

pretty expensive esp if you drink a lot of the it. still, if you won't drink it then it's a total waste of money, right? there are tons of flavors. the ingredients read like a chemistry set but i think it's mostly whey protein that has been vitamin fortified. It's pretty caloric... 30+ grams of protein @ 400 calories or something like that. So if you drink it 3 times per day you get 90 grams of protein at 1200 calories. whey isolate (no-name brand) delivers 50 grams of protein at 300 calories so if you drink it 3x per day you get 150 grams of protein @ 900 calories. of course it tastes like crap but hey... them's the numbers.

No its a replenisher for after strenuous excercise. Its designed to get protein to the muscles quick. 16oz bottle = 2.99 at the gym. I believe GNC sells them.


The place I ordered online would work out to about $2.25 per 11oz bottle.

a six pack of 8oz bottles of Ensure plus costs me $8 something at Wal-Mart, so this actually costs more than that? And Ensure+ has 350 calories; I can't remember how much protein.

Bananas, whey protein and whole milk in a blender will get you the same results....Sorry I'm trained to push real whole foods, I'm sure there pretty good. Any fiber?

hey bs, that sounds good. i have to choke down that whey isolate every day... the regular whey is pretty good but the whey isolate is like drinking chalk. oh well!

not sure if the spousal unit will allow whole milk in the house. when we got hitched i was a whole milk drinker and she got me to switch by swapping out for 2% then 1% than skim. sneaky #&%!$.

Yeah, April still has a couple possibilities. I'm going back onto day shift so overnighters will be much more doable.

oh man, i LOVE rabbit but it's hard to find here... the freezer at the grocery once in a while has it back in the corner with the frozen calamari. i haven't cooked rabbit in ages, however.

Actually it seems dark but it's all fine white meat. Thinking about raising them. Not sure if I can handle it though. I'll probably end up with a bunch of pets. Jimmy san, Krogers sells it regularly.

Now wait a second, aren't you supposed to say whether you think I'm telling the truth or not? Or are yousimply supposed to just try and beat me? AND did you just drop a die?!

The idea is the cup goes around the table without anyone really knowing whats on the dice. So having believed you, I rolled to try and beat you. I rolled a double 2 so either you look at it (Dont believe) or roll and beat a double 2. WIth Dub 3 ,dub4, du5, or a special.
