Muscle Milk by cystosport is pretty popular.

 

[phaledax]

multi-vitamin, EFA's, creatine, protein powder.
Muscle Milk is a protein powder.

Muscle Milk is more of a mass gainer. It has over 600cals a serving, hardly a whey product.

 

[phaledax]

woops my bad.

you need to eat, 6 times a day preferably. food is the best 'supplement to take' by far.

but dont eat crap. eat 6 good meals, tuna, chicken, steak, eggs, not like a bowl of lucky charms, then a chocalte shake.

to gain bodyweight, first determine how many calories you are currently eating. then add about 300 to this, eat this amount for seven days and see what happens. if you gain, good. if you dont gain, add 300 more. eat this amount for seven days and so on and so forth.

there's more to it than just adding a "gainer" type supplement if you're not getting enough total calories in your meal plan

Muscle milk has like 40 grams of protien, which is about the most your body can take in in an hour. so drinking 70 grams of protien doesnt make a difference...I dont think.

 

[abear]

dont be too concerned with how much your body can absorb in one sitting. its all a myth.

but of course, roughly 20-40 grams per meal is more than enough. a mentality of "if 20-40 is good, 40-80 must be better" is of course inaccurate.
