milk is a nutritious drink. it’s a good source of useful nutrients, healthy fats (needed by the body!), and even protein.
i drink a cup of whole milk with 2 scoops of whey protein powder each morning. that’s about 400 calories, 8g of fat, and 56g protein (of which the cup of milk kicks in 8g).
everyone knows that protein is necessary for building muscle mass, but it’s also useful for retaining lean muscle mass while eating at a calorie deficit (during weight loss).
anyone who rants against milk or claims it to be unhealthy... is ignorant about basic nutrition and everything else they say about anything else is therefore suspect.
the only problem that milk poses to many adults are lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. fortunately, lactose-free milk is easily available in the supermarket.

After my heart attack I made a big change, now I workout daily at the house and twice a week at the fitness center. Weights are involved in all workouts along with cardio. I went from almost 200 lbs to 155 then started to rebuild. I watch my diet closely and now concentrate on building muscle. My morning meal consists of 3 raw egg’s (I know don’t bother) and a glass of milk. I’m now 172 and stronger than I’ve ever been, getting scary close to bench pressing 250 lbs. May not sound like much to some but for a man fixing to be 65 it’s a chunk. My wife refuses to watch me eat raw egg’s.
