What the hell is the deal with Protein from Milk..?

[stfuhr]

Skim milk has NO fat. The only bad thing with milk is that it contains 12g of lactose, a simple sugar, per cup. For every 8g of protein you get 12g of simple sugar. Also, a lot of people are lactose intolerant. Never bothered me though, when bulking I drink a half gallon of skim a day or more, when cutting I use the fat-free carb countdown milk. 12g of protein per cup, and only 3g of lactose!

What Tux said. Depends how well you can tolerate dairy, but there is way too much simple sugar to make it your main source of protien. You can always change that ratio by adding a low carb protien powder if you are not lactose intolerant. That way you can chug your protien, but you still gotta eat real food.

I beleive it. Actually, most adults suffer from some degree of lactose intolerance but dont consume enough dairy to realize it.

I found out I was lactose intolerant when I started to drink 1/2 gallon of choc milk ed while bulking. Never any stomach issues but the gas I was emitting could kill a small child.

I go with lactose free skim now in all my protien shakes. My ass smells no worse than usual(which isnt ssaying much).

Can you not get a supplement to help digest the lactose? Called lactolase or something.

yeah, lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose. Its available in pill form.

Id suggest skipping the lactose all-together. Lactose-free milk doesnt taste any differernt.

For about a week I have been using Twinlabs PM protein fuel since I got some for free. It is made up of Milk and casein protein. I have to tell you, that I love the stuff. Of course I am dieting now and everything tastes better than normal but this stuff is more filling and you stay fuller longer. Also, I add a few ice cubes and mix it in a blender and it comes out so thick that I eat it like a pudding. I add some splenda and cinnamon and it has basically no carbs and is a great alternative to your normal protein shake.

Damn....ive been missing out.....(due to hearing stupid advice) pist off!
This will be perfect....an extra 128g of protein/day + boatload of callories.
Pluss chuging down callories and protein in form of liquid is much easier than eating.....Eating sucks!

after reading about your homemade tuna in a blender shakes you were drinking, lol milk should be a good change. keep the tuna out of the milk, now that would be sick.............

i get a lot of my protein from milk. always drink lots of milk when bulking, i try to drink a half gallon a day. i drink my protein powder mixed with milk, i get enough water throughout the day anyway. skim milk actually has more protein than whole milk, but it tastes like shit, i drink the whole milk anyway, cause i dont have to worry about my fat intake. ectos rock
