Muscle Milk....??

[Doubles]

I have done many searches on information for muscle milk. On one of the threads in this section, people were talking about how muscle milk is good for GAINING weight... I bought it mostly because on the bottle it says its a good fat burner... I am 5'9, 180 and i do not need more fat... I am trying to cut, however, at the same time gain muscle mass. I understand that the fat in Muscle Milk is "helpful" fat, however I am still confused. I have read about how much people like Thermocin... Should I still be taking Muscle Milk after my workouts, or is it doing more harm than help?

I just drank one of these 10 minutes ago. Pretty damn good... I think it says fat burner simply because it contains no trans-fats. I don't think there are any fat burners/thermogenics in the product.

the muscle milk RTD's have like, 3g of carbs, but taste awesome.

they are 'helpful for fat loss' to trick the fAtkins people into thinking its a miracle drink. its not...its just a protein shake.

Yeah, they do taste reallyfreakin good though. Drink like a gatorade or eat something with simple carbs along with the muscle milk.

The new version states this: Efficient Energy Production: Lean LipidsTM are special fats that are easily mobilized for workout energy, enhance your body's fat metabolism and promote protein synthesis, anti-imflammatory effects and mineral retention.

That is why there is a "fat burning" lable on the tub.

I'm guessing the lean lipids are MCTs or something?

[Maki Riddington]

Yes.

Aren't MCTs preferentially burned.

So although this product does burn fat, it just won't burn stored triglycerides.

I believe that's the thinking behind it.
I've only had the RTD's not the powder. By far the best tasting RTD I've had, and it's not cloyingly sweet like others.
