MILK - Good or Bad?

[wala]

Ok, I've been hearing mixed views on milk. Some say its fine, some say don't have any and others have mixed views depending on whether its full, semi or 1% fat content.

I do currently include milk as part a my muscle building diet.

Can anyone clear this up and give EVIDENCE to support what they say?

My stance on it was before bed dont drink it. Much less the 4 pints a mod tried to say to drink on another site.

I use milk everyday

I could see cutting it out for preperation for a comp. but other then that in moderation.

Check out my thread Ian it said something about 4 pints before bed!

I agree, a cup or 2 of milk per day is fine and very healthy. Not 4 pints before bed.

haha

so how does my diet sound - the time when i have milk is:

Morning - 16 ounces (with other things blended in)

sometimes half pint at lunch.

milk in protein shake before gym at 6ish

and i HAVE been having a pint of semi skimmed just before bed...

just interested in knowing what the health issues are (whether good or bad)... not too worried about it adding fat to me

 

[Double D]

A cup in the morning and maybe one post workout that should be about enough.

in a way, its convenience.. i mean if i cut milk to what your saying, i have to replace it with something else.. but what? nd then its preparing that food.. whereas with milk, its just there and easy to consume!

 

[Double D]

How about yogurt, or cottage cheese, tuna (not to much), whey, casein, almonds (While not alot of protein, good fat), etc.

I hard boil alot of eggs and eat up to 24 egg whites a day.

 

[ABCs]

I drink a cup of Organic milk every morning. Good times.

BTW, wala, the Nintendo Wii is awesome. Had it since launch.

 

[wala]

24 eggs whites DD?? i dont include any egg whites at all.. used to always have eggs, but just dont have em now?!

I had my Wii since launch too.... i might even go grab a quick game (its my night off from the gym afterall!) lol

 

[Double D]

Yeah 24. They are a great source of protein and low fat.

 

[Jodi]

Be careful DD. You can develop sensitivities if you eat a lot of one food consistently.

 

[Double D]

It was for 2 meals whenever I was cutting. And keep in mind I said up to, this was not everyday. Thanks Jodi.

 

[Jodi]

Alright alright, you get a free pass today

 

[Double D]

Feeling kinda giving today are we?

Hug?

[Jodi]

[wala]

half my diet consists of dairy products ..milk is one of your best choices..

 

[Jodi]

Its a great choice but 50% of your diet.....oh hell no!

Milk is good, but needs to be used in moderation. I would say 2 pints a day is plenty.

 

[assassin]

i usually get 1-2 cups + 1cup with my post workout shake ....

 

[Double D]

Sounds managable.

I had my best growth rates on 100% milk. Mom that bitch cut me off at 10 I could of been huge.

 

[MCx2]

Wow. I though I was over doing it the days I had 10, but I eat the whole egg.

 

[Double D]

An egg white is about 16 cals and 4 grams of protein, while a whole egg is 4g fat and I think 60 cals and 6g protein. I maybe wrong, but I think thats it.

 

[NordicNacho]

matters how big the egg is but 60 or 70 sounds right

 

[Double D]

I am talking a large egg.
