I've always been an ardant Muscle Milk proponent. In terms of taste, absorption, and healthy fat content, Muscle Milk was one of the few good mass gainers to use on a bulk cycle (with obvious addition of extra protein/carbs). The best quality of Muscle Milk was, hands down, the taste. This coupled with high insulin mobilization and easy digestion allowed users to ingest 3-4 shakes a day to compliment a high calorie intake and produce very lean gains on a bulk cycle. The downfalls of Muscle Milk, however, was its high saturated fat content, and low protein content.

It was only a matter of time before a company came along to equal, if not surpass, Muscle Milk in terms of taste and content. I believe Mass Meal has reached that mark, and in doing so, set a new standard.

Compared to Muscle Milk, Ergopharms Mass Meal has a marginally higher protein content (34 grams compared to Muscle Milks 32). Whereas Muscle Milk had 8 grams of saturated fat, Mass Meal has 1.5 grams. The best quality of Mass Meal is its high unsaturated fat content (10 grams). This is good for bodybuilders because unsaturated (be it poly or mono) fats lower total cholesterol, lower LDL, and raise HDL. This can be extremely important during, or following, anabolic cycles. Mass Meal also contains a much higher carbohydrate content (25 grams compared with 12 grams from Muscle Milk). This is obviously wanted in eliciting an insulin spike which facilitates the movement of protein into muscle cell's - i.e. muscular hypertrophy.

In terms of taste, Mass Meal equal's if not surpasses Muscle Milk. Being that Mass Meal is produced by Ergopharm, I think it's safe to assume the ingredients are as listed, and the quality top knotch. This will definitely be a staple of mine for some time to come.

isn't the saturated fat in muscle milk mostly MCTs?

I like the way Muscle Milk tastes but there is just too many fat calories.

Because its still saturated fat. It's "more likely" to be used as fuel in the body, but I have a hard time believing if you're bulking and taking in ample carbs and other fats that all the MCT's are immediately burned as energy. Just my .02 though.

On the other hand I think Ergopharm's stuff will rock, I ordered mine last week and should have it today hopefully. You forgot to mention the fat source here is sunflower oil and Enova oil, much better in terms of EFA's as a fat source. Plus the carb source is from brown rice.

Agreed.

It blows away Muscle Milk in taste, and most importantly in fats.
