What are the advantages of taking a whey protein supplement with water as opposed to milk?
I have been taking different whey protein supplements for about 8 months or so. Some of them specify they can be taken with either milk or water while some only state water should be used. Is there any advantages or disadvantages to taking whey powder with milk? Why do some specify the use with water only? I have been thinking that taking it with milk would increase the protein intake as well as introducing casein into the equation as a protein that is more slowly absorbed.
Using milk would add calcium and vitamins. The catch is it would add fat. Some might prefer the taste.
Using water makes it lower calorie.

It is purely taste, added nutrients, and calorie count!
