Muscle Milk Light

[Mike]

Apparently this is the same as Muscle Milk, just less calories. I looked it up and its 160 calories vs. ~400 for just regular Muscle Milk. I'm not looking to bulk which is why I would only take the Light.

I'm at the weight I want to be at now but would like to be more toned and I feel like I haven't been progressing in the gym much since I've been going every week since the beginning of January. I'm currently lifting 3 times a week, cardio 5 times. Like I said I'm not looking to add weight, if anything I'd like to lose a few more pounds - would this be of any benefit to me?

Mike are you a fan of the muscle milk products, I think there are better products however if taste is very important for you this might be a good suggestion. Are you using it as your main protein source or a meal replacement?

[Mike]

The only protein supplement I've taken (very shortly) was one I picked up at Trader Joe's over the summer, forget the actual brand though, it was chocolate and tasted fine to me, taste isn't a big deal.

I'll be using this as a protein source, mainly because when I workout I am not able to get protein in me after, so I'd be taking this before/after workouts, which is what it seems to recommend on the site. I would not be using this to replace wheels. Since I lift only 3 days a week, I would probably be only using it on those 3 days. I just don't want to use it if its going to make me gain weight back on. I also notice I have no energy when lifting sometimes so hopefully taking this before would help with that.

I am taking muscle milk light too..... I only started like two weeks ago and I only take it after I work out and Ive noticed a huge difference with my body, its really toned it up :)

Are you getting the same results as me?

A couple of my girl friends were taking regular muscle milk and they started gaining weight....so if your a girl use LIGHT!!!

My goal is to become more lean and drop some lbs!!

I like to eat non-fat cottage cheese for a night snack. the protein is slow digesting and helps keep my body building muscle rather than catabolizing it.
