Muscle Milk is a trademarked product of CytoSport, a supplement company founded in 1998. A 14-ounce chocolate Muscle Milk contains 240 calories and 25 grams of protein. It also has 9 grams of fat and 14 grams of carbs. Muscle Milk is not actually milk, though it's designed to mimic the flavor and properties of milk. It's used by athletes as a dietary supplement to speed recovery and increase muscle growth. There are three primary occasions when you might want to drink Muscle Milk.
