A buddy of mine just went into GNC and bought a little puuch carton drink called "muscle milk" and consumed it before we both hit the weights (I think it's made by nestle or hershey's?). 19g of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat (it's like a chocolate milk drink). I'm trying to tell him GNC employees work on commission (don't they?) and the drink has too much fat in it. Yes, it has 30 grams of protein but way too much fat and calories.

I am correct, right? He's 185 5'10 so he's not the skinniest guy in the world. The guy at GNC told him to take it right before the weight workout and to take something else right after.

Am I missing something here, or is this not the smartest choice to make?

Thanks.

yea; i dont really know wut the deal is with muscle milk but you can take 2 servings of whey and it will only give you 4 grams fat 2 grams sat fat and 220 calories with 40 protein. I dont know if gnc guys get paid off commision.
but then agian your body can use all of the nutrients and burn everything off during the workout so...
