Chocolate Milk vs white milk

So I have decided to get more calcium in my diet but I hate regular milk. I was thinking about drinking chocolate milk. I was wondering if it is the same kind of calcium as regular white milk. If not, what is the difference? Do I need to drink more chocolate milk to get the same calcium as I would in regular white milk?

    So does that mean it has extra calcium?

    I can't tell if you are all just joking or not - so here goes. Chocolate milk is simply 1% or 2% milk that has a chocolate flavour added to it. The calcium content is the same.

    Does the chocolate flavoring have calcium in it?

    There is calcium in chocolate milk, but it is the same amount of calcium in regular milk I think. It does have more sugar, so if you are concerned about the amount of sugar you get, watch out for that also.

    I wasn't asking about yoghurt and cheese.

    IF you are looking for more calcium in your diet Almond milk has more than cows milk and its good. Plus there are other foods that you can eat, like Salmon, that are high in calcium. just google foods high in calcium.

    I don't like white milk either so I add sugar free chocolate syrup to it when I want to have a glass. It's only 15 calroies for 2 TBS, which is plenty. Then there's no worries about blood either :-)

    I am aware of this. I was just asking about white milk vs chocolate milk. But thanks for your input.

    What if I used skim milk to make it?

    You mean extra iron.

    I try to stay away from iron. I bruise easily and I was told iron does that to you if you consume to much.

    Is it just me, or is it becoming increasingly difficult to get a straight answer to a genuine question on these boards. Kind of a shame, really.....

    I cook with cast iron. My BF bruises easily from it when he comes home late from the bar.

    then you should be asking if there is caffeine in the chocolate something a pregnant woman should not have too much of. check with your doctor. i'm guessing there is very little since it is just a syrup that's added to white milk but you do want to double check this just to be on the safe side.
