What type of shake do you take

[Azmer]

I was curious on what protein shake you take, I myself, Am using 'mutant mass' and is working wonders. Triple Chocolate flavored yum yum

[Agent Mercury]

Cytogain Chocolate

Mine is called "Beef" and it's in the form of a nice grilled stake and I eat it with a lot of spinach.

Just a heads up for you, flavored shakes contains high amounts of suger. Suger = bad while working out.

Mine has 7g in a serving. And I can make it in far under the time of a steak. It is a supplement not meal replacement and damn good at it.

Also absorption goes up after working out so that is when you should drink it and I am sure most do.

I looked up Mutant Mass which has a lot more sugar than what fits my taste but as with all things it is good to research for the best results and not all are jacked up on sugar for flavor.

Point was that most flavored contain pretty much suger, not all do, but mutant mass 3x chocolate contains the wooping 32g suger per serving (13%) and the reccomended daily intake of added suger is 62 grams. It's not realy good at all while working out.

Tastes good man.

[Projali]

optimum nutrtition gold standard whey mixed with whole milk for bulking and water for PWO.

[dercaderca]

ON Gold Standard Whey, Double Rich Chocolate flavor. 24 grams per serving and at a decent price, 77 servings for about $50, I usually only drink 1 a day so that lasts me about 2.5 months.

[Rivi]

I just switched to Nature's Best Isopure Cookies and Cream.
Tastes great and I don't have to worry about the extra carbs.

[blabber]

Muscle Juice 2600 series, 1300 calories, a little fat, and 390 complex carbs, doesn't mix great, but tastes good enough.

I've gained 8 lb over the last month from it, on top of my 6-7 K daily calorie consumption... currently at 203 lb (competing in 198 for USA Powerlifting, RAW).

Mainly 1 full serving a day divided into 2 half servings, between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner

Breakfast - Shake - Lunch - Shake - dinner - snack - shake if still up.

[Inay]

I take pre-workout shake(2 scoops of malto + 1 scoop whey) and for post-workout Mass recovery shake that contains about 50% protein and 50% carbs.

I usually take the Strawberry shake


from mcdonalds

[Zavri]

Body fortress Whey Protein. Chocolate flavored, only 2 grams sugar per serving. Around 50g protein / serving.

Pretty good stuff.

[Noxplod]

8-10oz warm milk (skim/fat free) with 1-1 1/2 scoops ON brand Gold Standard Whey or the Champion "series" ON with 1 packet of (insert your favorite flavor of low sugar oatmeal here) shake vigorously for 30 secs and BAM. everything you need in that one shake.

I tend to use Whey Class+, I've tried a few other brands but there are a lot of really bad ones out there (Star Nutrition's Whey100 is definitely the "winner" for worst protein shake, tastes like crap and you need to shake it for at least 3-4 minutes to make it drinkable).

Point was that most flavored contain pretty much suger, not all do, but mutant mass 3x chocolate contains the wooping 32g suger per serving (13%) and the reccomended daily intake of added suger is 62 grams. It's not realy good at all while working out.

Are you sure you're not talking about gainers? Because I don't think I've ever seen a regular protein powder with added sugar...

Added sweeteners (aspartame et al)? Sure.
Added sugar? Nope.

Also, if you're trying to consume 150+ g of protein per day it gets pretty damn boring to always try to squeeze high-protein food into your diet, downing a couple of shakes with ~30g of protein per shake makes it a lot easier.

I wanted to start taking one but then read about what they contain and decided against it.

You mean whey protein, flavoring agents and sucralose/aspartame? Because that's pretty much what a lot of them contain.

Everyone should stop buying protein powders and why powders from supplement companies seriously... it's embarrassing. Just get a generic pure whey protein isolate, no sugar, no fat all protein. If you buy crap from supplement companies it's more expensive, has a tonne of sugar in them, some have fat and they all have a bunch of crap like L-arginine etc. that don't do anything other than bump the price up. Also you don't even need a protein shake, if you're taking a protein shake for the sake of it being a protein shake you should stop working out, a protein shake is just a meal, a source of protein and not a necassary thign for someone trying to build muscle but a helpful thing.
