Optimum Whey or Muscle Milk?

[peabody88]

I've looked around here for a while and also did some reasearch on my own... but in your opinion which is the better protein for gaining muscle mass?

Thanks-

Optimum Nutrition.

Optimum Nutrition yup

[Suareezay]

and these opinions are based on....?

without other changes in the diet, the muscle milk would be the better choice by a fraction of a degree...more fat, more carbs, more cals = more weight.

in the end, its splitting hairs. the brand doesnt matter, but to say one good brand is better than another good brand (when were not even comparing the same ****ing protein) is horseshit.

Mine is based on taste. I prefer Muscle Milk, but as you say, as long as it is quality protein it shouldn't matter what brand you use (although some brands are no trustworthy in my opinion).

The only reason I like Optimum Nutrition is because its less in fats and carbs. You can add fats/carbs in if you want if you get optimum nutrition by adding olive oil and oats. I just find it more diverse and that you can do more things to it and not be stuck with a slower digesting protein all the time.

thats fine, but this guys criteria for selecting a protein was which is best for "gaining muscle mass", not how versatile or great tasting the protein is. His question is basically unanswerable, because one brand isnt going to build muscle any faster or any better than another brand (assuming we're dealing with reputable companies). Its like asking "which is better NO-Xplod or CELL-mass?", or "will Quaker oats provide me with a better supply of energy than Harris Teeters generic oats?".

Both: ON in the morning and after workout and muscle milk at night.

Trueprotein.com with the 5% discount code gixxer. Seriously though they have great flavors and you can make your own blend of the best protein I have come across yet. I like knowing what I'm getting.

which ones are no trustworthy?

Musclemilk by far. 350 cals and stops hunger. If that is alot of cals to someone, you need to train harder.

I would try Muscle Milk.

I have used ON and it is good stuff, but I like TrueProtein better and it costs less.

I have never used Muscle Milk, but I hear good things about it. I can't compare this to anything else until I try it.

I have been using whey and it has worked but I just started with Muscle Milk and I am loving it, I change my vote.

[getfitdoc]
