ON 100 percent whey question (hopefully a new one)

Do you guys think it would be alright if I premixed say a gallons worth of my protein powder and refridgerated it?

Do you guys think it will go bad?

It will probably lose some of its nutrients over time. Why? What's wrong with just mixing it when you need it? lazy ass :P

Lol. I was just wondering. I do all my mixing on location at the gym usually and it just popped up.

from what i know 2 problems can arise - 1) proteins denaturize after a while in the water (although at a much slower rate than other supplements- protein is pretty stable). 2) Contamination- could become bacterial breeding ground. Not sure how refridgeration will affect either point, but ive had protein contaminate before - not a pretty sight

I second that. Protein contaminated=death to the nasal cavity and all pleasent smells for the next hour.

try it out with one protein shake, refrigerate a bottle of it and see how long it takes to go bad

Not even that just refrig your protiein container in it. lol not the whole thing though just a little bit for the next day use. I hope I said that clearly enough, if not just ask me to clearify.
