Protein in water question...

How long can you keep it mixed in water for? Does it damage the protein or doesn't it matter?
 
Thanks guys

Not sure why you would want to keep it in water as adding to water does not take more than 5 seconds...
 
But anyway to answer your question, once mixed wit water treat the same way as you would treat milk...
 
No it does not "damage" the protein anymore than opening a tin of tuna and putting it in the fridge for 2 days would damage the protein in the tuna..

Thanks and it's because of my job lol

Just remember to shake it again before you drink it!

I do the same for work, makes no difference mate.

just dont forget it & leave it in your car - it stinks foul ime 

Thanks guys

If you're using unflavoured whey it'll taste foul if over two hours. If it was really impossible to mix at work ie can't get to water, I'd rather take a second shaker of water and mix them when needed.

you know its weird, i used to take my shakes with milk (stopped as got really expensive) and now whenever i try a shake with milk instead of water....it just tastes ****e to me! any of you guys prefer to not use milk?
 

I only use milk with my last one before bed

I never use Milk.
 
even at night i stopped

Water is cal free. Although milk has Bvits which are good for protein absorption apparently. But yes, when I used to use milk I tried water and didn't like it. Now, watching the cals and using water, I hate it with milk. I have unflavored isolate so with water it's real thin so I can neck it in a second.

i sometimes use skimmed milk with mine if i run out of casein but otherwise it's too thick

Only use water, and make 500ml instead of the recommended 400ml.
The reasons being, before i did this i would be lucky to drink 1/2 pint of water per day (have a latte in the morning and one in the evening, so drank milk).
I did start mixing with milk, but then realised i was drinking about 3 pints per day (including cereal) and putting weight on.
I now have the lattes drinks (with One milk), and tea, plus my shake mixed with water to increase my water intake.
I have actually lost a bit more weight doing this.
