Other Considerations The taste of Muscle Milk is superior to most other protein powders. It is a great source of amino acids and also provides you with casein protein, which is good for taking right before you go to bed. It is a good product if you are trying to increase your size because of its high-calorie content. Generally, if your bodybuilding goal is to decrease body fat, then you should probably stay away from this product. If you are trying to bulk up, Muscle Milk may be good to use, but don't exceed one serving a day. You don't want to add too much saturated fat and too many calories to your diet if your goal is good nutrition -- as it should be.
