Does anyone favour one or the other or both at the same time? what would be best to use for someone at the beginning of training?

Are there any major benefits for each one? or major flaws?

Any advice from people would be greatly appreciated

thanks

stay away from protein shakes!

drink milk!


(btw this topic is in the nutrition section like 123124 times ^^ check it out )

There is nothing bad with protein shakes man. Well protein powder is not so good soluble in milk, but im drinking it with milk because its delicious. And off course i am drinking milk without protein shake, because in my milk that I have in fridge right now is 100ml/3,2g proteins so thats 32g on one bottle of milk, so thats good!

protein shakes make u weak

if u wanna grow make get ur diet right. check the post "protein shakes" for more information. and there is a lot of stuff wrong with protein shakes.

Protein shakes are processed beyond belief. While they are useful for a select amount of people(elite athletes, bodybuilders), they're not very useful for regular people who exercise maybe 10 hours per week.

They're isolated nutrients that can be used correctly, but they lack the satiation factor of whole foods as well. If you're trying to gain significant amounts of weight, then that can be a good thing, but you don't get much, if anything in terms of nutrition(vitamins, minerals, etc.) from protein shakes. You're better off by eating good foods.

even elite athletes use creatine or creatine compounds on tested programs to get what they need. protein shakes rly suck and so almost no good. why not eat a couple of eggs more or drink more mild or eat +1 meal daily O.o

Milk is alot better I think, more sugar yes but you can drink it before bed and have it digest over 3 hours.
The milk I have is 57.5grams per litre pretty awesome stuff.

Milk is natural... its made to gain weight. natures way of turning a teeny calf into a freaking huge cow sooo... yeah xD Go milk over protein shakes any day.

MILK... lots of it, full fat is my preference!!

Ive always used shakes up until a few weeks ago. Or i still use it, only with breakfast, I mix it with oats and milk in a blender and drink it. For postworkout i drink chocolate milk or regular milk with banana.

milk is cheaper, more natural

as i know milk a lot of lactose hard digest, espescially lactose toralate
