Does anyone know what the best kind of milk is with the fewest calories? Even one cup of 2% milk seems like alot. Is skim milk any good and how healthy is it?

    Edited: Just look at the chart. The crap underneath is typical B.S. Dairy products do not contain antibiotics.

    Isn't chocolate milk the worst kind even though it's so good.

    Are you trying to suggest calories are bad?

    No just trying to cut the calories down a little more to stay within my calorie range for the day.

    I drink 2%, I just fit it into my calories for the day.

    I've tried soy, almond, etc....and I have found that I prefer my dairy fresh milk. I buy milk from a local dairy. Fresh milk is the best!

    I guess I can cut down half a cup or just work out a little longer, but seriously does anyone know how skim milk tastes?

    It's the best ever! Anyone who says different only says that to discourage you from having any so there is more for them.

    In general, Skim milk is the best, it has a moderate low GI and contains protein to support lean muscle, whole milk is just loaded with saturated fats and has alot more calories than skim.

    I'm not a fan of skim milk either. Well....I don't mind it in my coffee, does that count? HA!

    Just workout a bit more, lift some weights, walk a little longer, whatever ya gotta do!

    Skim milk tastes fine, but I am not sure if you are trying to avoid calories or fat. We use 2% because a little fat is good for you. That said, I also use Soymilk which is around 90 calories for a cup, Almond milk which is about 60 calories for a cup and Cocunut milk which is about 80 calories for a cup.

    Skim milk tastes pretty much the same as 2% but is watery in texture. Have you tried 1% or even soy or almond milk.

    Fairly Watery, not as rich as whole milk though.

    Trying to cut calories down by a few. Not much though cuz I will work out. Just curious about the skim milk also.

    Almond milk! I tried Silk's Almond Milk with Dark Chocolate and i'm not going back to dairy milk again!
    And it's only 120 calories for 250 ml.
    The plain version has much lower calories..

    I drink fat free milk and if I drink 2% it tastes like I'm drinking whole milk. I like it and use it frequently. I also like Silk Soy Chocolate Milk Light (I use it in my protein shakes).
