I guess it depends on your goals. If you're cutting, skim milk would be better for obvious reasons. For bulking, I think it matters much less provided you keep an eye on overall fat intake.

Having said that - I am cutting and have regular milk with Coffee (just can't do skim with coffee) and skim with my PWO shake. Other than that, no milk in my diet. Just my .02

I might add a little to my shakes every once in a while... but stay away from it most of the time. Too much sugar for me. I think it has like 12 grms of sugar???

[bigjoe30]

yea the only time i use it is with coffee 1 mybe 2 times a day.

thanks

Nothing wrong with milk.

Low Gi Sugar just like sweet potatoes

Nothing wrong with drinking milk, People say milks bad, but beefs ok!
so you cant drink the milk that helped build that beef? LOL

go ahead man, if you want milk fit it into your diet.
if its jsut a little bit with your coffee dont even count it.
same with some condiments, dont deprive your self!!!

what are your goals BTW?

if your just trying to lose some weight or look good, then ya its fine

if your pre-contest you may have to watch it more closely

From what i've read, lactose (the 12g of sugar per 1 cup of milk) is a very slow digesting carb and your body does not process it in the same way it does sucrose or fructose.

Some consider milk the perfect food and balance of protein/carbs.

you milk haters are nuts
that's the good stuff
drink all you want

yes, very low gi carb to the point it runs out some peoples ass
as long as you aren't lactose intollerant it's phenominal, like shakes it's not a food replacement but a very good addition to your diet.

my crew coach put me on two large glasses of milk with every meal and I put on muscle fast. It made my nose run to the point I got bronchitis though...it increases mucus production, so watch out for that.

i could never go without milk my protein shakes taste discusting without out milk

^^^ Agreed 1000% percent! I can handle my Casein shakes with water, but not a chance when it comes to Whey!

Kratos hit it... It is not a bad thing to have, but it is not a meal and should not be used as a source for protein or carbs or anything imo. drink it in your shakes for sure, that I strongly recommend. To get 50% of your meal cals from a glass of milk is retarded.

Since we're on this, should I go back to 1 cup of milk with my Casein shake at night? I switched to water to drop an additional 100 calories, but it probably wouldn't kill me to add it back on. I was more worried about taking carbs at night...

it is not a ****ing food. that is the end of the story as far as milk goes. I can eat candy, does not mean you can eat candy. everybody has their own preferences. If you are fat or high in bf (aka fat) I recommend not to drink it.

[suprman09]

saw this at the store...what do you guys think:

[scared1]

That Hood Choc is a dairy beverage...not milk. I don't think it's a bad thing though considering the nutritional values listed. If that is your vice...then go for it. I like Muscle Milk Lite. It is loaded up with protein so it makes sense to me. Wonder what it would be like to add muscle milk to my whey?

skim, once you get use to it you don't miss the fat and whole milk will taste like heavy cream.

so is whey, and nobody complains about that

insulin is only the enemy if you're on a keto diet anyway

you wouldn't drink a lot of milk when cutting, for the simple fact that it's extra calories.

but, if you're trying to pack quality calories into your diet milk is muscle by the gallon, lick it up.

[gbrice75]

skim, once you get use to it you don't miss the fat and whole milk will taste like heavy cream.

Agreed - even when I was COMPLETELY off of any type of diet for almost 10 years, the only thing I stuck with was skim milk just because I was so used to it. Skim milk and 4000 calories a day of CRAP!!!
