Wait. Why wouldn’t milk be a good source for a post workout meal because of the protein + simple carbs.
I was planning on eating a can of tuna, and a cup of milk for Post workout.
I don’t see why milk is being hated so much
Quality protein, vitamin A, calcium, insulin-related anabolic qualities …
Milk has the best protein (aside from eggs) and it’s easy to drink.
And I dont see how I’d gain unwanted fat as long as I drink it within my calorie intake.[/quote]
Milk pros
-Calorie dense
-Carbs+protein - good if you time it right
-Anabolic - if you time it right
-Cheap relative to similar options like MRPs
Milk cons
-Shouldn’t be a blanket recommendation due to food allergies; know your body
-Carbs+protein - bad if you are prone to fat gain or you don’t know how to time your intake
-Can be a crutch that won’t last you in the long-term
-Not nutrient-dense
