    The ****'s already barely consumable with milk and milk is more protein right? But I've been hearing ditch the milk and go water. I can't imagine what that's gonna taste like.

    the reason people have it with water is to save on calories

    absorbing and the speed of such is bs you'll get it anyway

    buy a better tasting protein (read: more expensive)

    Milk contains significant amounts of saturated fat. Thats why its better to take it with water. Either way your body will only metabolize what it can and you`ll **** out the rest. Be prepared for some really smelly shits.

    If you're eating a balanced diet, you're getting enough protein already. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Yeah it mixes a lot better with water so its better for on the go. But if you're doing it at home and its a low carb protein powder milk can be quite good to add the required sugars.

    When I do take protein, I personally mix it with skim milk. If I do take a protein mix I normally substitute it for a meal (I have 5 smaller meals throughout the day) because of its added fat and calories, especially when mixed with milk.

    I mix it with water when I take it at the gym. If you have a decent quality brand it will be fine. Probably a fruit flavored one would go better with water.

    If you prefer it with milk that is fine. I do that at home sometimes.

    I know guys who consume 500 grams of protein a day, they even set their alarms on the bed side table so they can wake in the middle of the night and gulp some more down, but I agree for a normal human you should have a well balanced diet and avoid over priced protein drinks and powders.

    It's completely unnecessary and incredibly hard on your kidneys.

    I think it mixes better with water and the taste is bad in both so not a huge difference :lol:

    I work and go to school so I eat once before 4pm and maybe 2 more times afterwards so maybe I'll be alright with milk seeing as I can't eat much due to my schedule anyways...thanks for the help though.
