how about milk

[ecomcorp]

i have skim milk once in a while it's one a my ways of getting my 40 grames of protein in the morning with eggs or cottage cheese. but i am wondering if it's a good idea.

Sorry if the answer is already somewhere on the forum, i didi do a search with no luck.

It depends if you cutting and trying to avoid sugar..
I started drinking skim milk every morning

I started drinking a low carb milk, it's 2%, has 12grams of protein per cup and only 3 grams of carbs/sugar total.

I LOVE the LC FF milk. Taste really close to skim milk.

If your a hard gainer and trying to bulk adding regular milk (no LC) is another option but if your cutting, I'd stick to the Low carb Hood milk.

Hey prince, I've read that although the low carb milk is going to obviously create less of a glycemic load, it is still high on the insulin scale...regardless of its being low carb or regular skim. Have you heard that too?, I cant say that I'm even familiar with the "insulin scale" however. I'll search around and see if I can pull that old article back up.

You can also get a simple Milk Protein Isolate cheaper than powdered milk gram per gram of protein. Use 1/2 MPI and 1/2 whey or some combo like that and further reduce the price if you want.

With a little work, you can use that in place of many dairy products that are typically very expensive and/or have ingredients that you would rather not use (excessive sodium from cottage cheese/ ff cream cheese, extra carbs and fat from cheeses/milks etc).

The taste of Hood will be tough to replicate, but in many ways it is much like protein powder plus various sweeteners and a few normal milk carbs. They just have the recipe down pat.
