Milk in your diet

Post by Patrick »

I was wondering what the pros and cons of milk in the diet are like how much and what fat percents are good to be taking. I am currently drinking 0.5 % milk usually once a day and one a day with vinilla soy milk for smooties. Also i was wondering about eating trailmix for snacks is it bad or good?

Just have some Skimmed.

Milk contains Calcium, Fat Soluable Vitamins including D, I think Magensium, and Zinc, possibly Iron.

You son't need loads but a bit in your diet is fine.

Milk is good for health.Whose want to become fatty or whose want to become thin. Both have a own benefits.But Mainly children doesn't like the milk.Milk is very important in growing age.Milk Contain dozen type of proteins.So milk is important.

well, it depends, can be good, but most of the people (like me argh) are lactose intolerant, so keep the milk but not too high portion and don't use milk as meal's proteins ...

That makes no sense, and besides Milk has 2 Proteins, Whey and Casein, the only other type of common complete dietry protein you can get, is Soy, and that's not in Dairy.

How about milk products?

I eat a pretty decent amoutn of dairy:

-A little milk with oatmeal in the morning
-A piece of string cheese as a mid-morning snack
-A piece of cheese on sandwich
-Milk with protein shake
-Cottage cheese an hour or so before bed

How excessive is this?

If you are 100% sure that you are lactose tolerant then you can use it wherever you want, don't exceed tough.

and Cottage Chesse is not really good ... replace it with low fat cheese

Don't mix Milk with Protein Shakes, it slows down the absorption.

1. It increases the Casein content.

2. Increases the calories, Water has no cals.

3. It means you use a Lactase enzyme, to digest the Galactose part of the Lactose, which if you mix shakes with water, means you won't be utilising as many enzymes.

You should use water, so the ability for the body to get nutrition from shakes quickly, is better.

Are you saying that's bad because liquids are not as filling?
