as far as cutting goes should i take muscle milk before bed? It has so much fat in it. and i lift as soon as i get up in the mornings with out eating first if that makes a difference.

Take the Muscle Milk before bred.. It has the caseen protien in it ... whcih has a slow obsorbint rate , and take like a Whey protien 30 - 40 mins after your workout

Ya but if you take it before you go to bed the fat will stay with you and its not good. Tis what I think
 

i lift as soon as i get up in the mornings with out eating first

Lifting requires glycogen...which you are depleted of when you wake up...the next energy substrate the body goes after is to make its own from muscle....fat is not used as a primary energy source during lifting...the anaerobic pathway is not a fat burning pathway...

Low intensity cardio would be ok after waking, but not lifting, unless the goal is to ruin your fat burning machine by destroying muscle.

Muscle milk is NOT ideal pre bed, but better than having nothing.

You would be better to do cardio and eat in the am to stoke the metabolism and lift for a short bout some time after that...
 
And even do some cardio just after that lifting...aerobic exercise can use either glucose or fat...exercise uses up the glucose...

Ok, everyone says that MM is not a good post-workout out supp., and now your saying its not an ideal pre-bed supp, so when do you think MM should be taken?
 
I usually take my MM in the morning and another serving about 30-45 minutes before bed.

It has a high fat profile, so better as a meal replacement.
