is whey protein ok to take w/milk? also, other than pre-/post workouts, should i take it before bed?

Question

i am not trying to "bulk-up", just increase lean muscle and aid in recover after long runs.
thanks all!

Answer 1

adding whey protein back to milk basically defeats the purpose of using a fast acting protein. water or juice would be optimum to mix with whey protein fractions.

I would also keep milk intake to a minimum if you are trying to decrease body fat. milk is low on the GI scale but it is high on the insulin index.

after your long runs I would have whey/water or juice and a portion of a low GI carb like lentils or beans.

Answer 2

Of course, that's where it comes from. The best grade of whey protein is bio-available whey protein isolate. This will help your body recover the most because, unlike the common whey concentrates, it has a complete amino acid profile, including the essential amino acids. This will allow your body to quickly repair the micro tears in your muscles from the workouts. Best wishes.

Answer 3

Yes it is very OK. You probably just need just an eight once glass of it a day.
