Hello,
Don't know whether I should be posting this question here but since I have just joined this group, thought I should post it here.
I have just started nrolfw and have also started eating acc to 20%- TDEE which is around 1700 calories which is so much to eat...sometimes I don't know how to go beyond 1300 calories but I am trying since my metabolism has slowed so much thanx to being on 1200 calories since last one year. Anyways I wanted to know post my workouts, can I have skim milk with nesquik chocolate powder. I am just not a fan of protein powders( besides they are very exp in dubai as I stay here) . Have heard that chocolate milk is very good for workout recovery, so wanted yr opinion/ advice on it
Thank u so much and am so happy to be a part of this group. Feel like I have finally enjoying my life and can see difference in the mirror( the scale has been kicked out)

As a general rule, if you're able to hit your calorie and macronutrient needs, and you're able to maintain training performance, diet adherence, and you're eating an otherwise nutrient dense diet, then yes you can have ______________ (<---- any food item).0

even though you don't need anything at all post workout, chocolate milk is good for recovery
