Question 1

what to do if i don't have any protein shakes at my house so is milk ok?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Whole milk especially seems to improve the body's ability to process the whey and casein proteins due to the milk fats that are present.

Question 2

i want to know if it is better to take protein shakes with milk or if it's better and what the difference would be thank you!

Accepted Answer

Protein shakes: Better to take with milk or with what?  You don't say what alternative to milk you have in mind.  But i think i can say this...If the protein shake has whey as its protein source then mixing it with milk would be redundant.  If the protein source is soya, then mixing it with milk would give you a wider range of amino acids.

Question 3

can i have protein shakes that contain whey if i have a milk allergy?

Accepted Answer

No: Milk allergy means one is allergic to milk protein. Whey contains milk protein. Also, casein is milk protein, so people with milk-allergy cannot eat casein either. Lactose is milk sugar, and many people have trouble drinking milk because they don't digest lactose well (that is called lactose-intolerance, and is by itself not an allergy).

im on a diet with high protein to lose fat and gain muscle, my diet is 2000 calories per day and only consists of: protein shakes, milk, flaxseeds, chicken breast, broccoli, brussel sprouts, green beans, egg, pasta. am i missing any vitamins?

Accepted Answer

: No. Your diet covers all of the vitamins and essential trace nutrients.
You will need to exercise to gain muscle, diet alone will not do it. A combination of aerobic exercise and resistance exercising/weight training will be needed to improve your muscle mass. The amount of gain will also be determined by your genetic make-up.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

if i do not have a milk allergy, can i drink whey protein powder shakes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In the case of milk allergy, a person is  allergic to milk protein.  If you do not have such allergy, you should be fine.  If you want more protein, you could increase your food intake of non-dairy proteins.  Use caution with any protein shake. Consuming more than 60g of protein/day can cause kidney irritation and damage over time.
