Skim milk, soy milk, or almond milk?

tom10239487

This seems to be a much disputed subject and I have found mixed results when trying to get to the bottom of it.

I'm concerned only with the nutritional values of each and which is the best for gaining muscle whilst drop-kicking fat.

Are there specific benefits for each and, if so, which is the most drastic?

Any advice is much appreciated- thank you! :happy:

Milk (any kind) is not responsible for muscle gain and fat loss...


I drink 2% plain old cow's milk.

i personally use whole milk while on my cut but i'd only limit it to 1 cup a day. id use it post workout with my oats.

I personally enjoy Soy Milk over skim milk. I love the flavor, personally.

I grew up on 2% milk, love milk, except skim milk, ick, why? I like to drink either 1 cup of 1% milk or 1/2c 1 or 2% milk with 1/2c light chocolate soymilk, it tastes pretty good mixed together. I'm not a fan of almond milk, tried it, kids tried it, we don't care for it.

I personally like full fat milk.

Full fat raw milk.

I prefer cow milk as it has a much higher protein content than soy or almond.

I drink skim milk.

I'm allergic to almonds, so almond milk is out.
I'm hypothyroid, so I try to not go too crazy with soy.

Also, I'm cheap...and skim milk is the cheaper alternative.

Dragon milk.

rice milk! or almond milk.

especially if you're vegan or vegetarian, you're probably already getting soy from other sources so avoid soy milk.

i find rice milk to be pretty much perfect. my wife prefers almond. both work better in coffee than most brands of soy, to boot.

I would go for full or semi if they didn't both make me feel very unwell.

I'll vote for hazelnut milk for coffee/chocolate and soy for cooking.

badger milk does the job, brings out the animal in me \m/

Hi:

This is a matter of personal preferences and if you have medical requirements ( lactose intolerant).

Check the nutritional information from the web and decide which one fits your objectives.

I drink skim milk for the record.

Good luck in your journey

Almond,
Cow's milk might have hidden substance like aspartame inside being talked about right now,
Soy is a highly GM'ed crop.
Almond is probably more untouched. but only if you care about those sort of things.

I like almond milk.

Cow milk makes me fart too much.

Personally, I love unsweetened almond milk. I'm not lactose free or anything, I just think it tastes good and has a better flavor for me than cow's milk.

I grew up on skim and love it, but I switched to almond milk to help lower my cholesterol.

I use almond milk for my shakes or with muesli, love it! I have skimmed milk in my coffee.
