The #1 reason you SHOULD drink milk at night: Casein absorption: Almost 80% of the protein found in milk is in the phosphorus-containing form known as casein – a complete protein. Casein is hydrophobic (literally “scared of water”) and so it is not soluble in water but instead appears in milk as a suspension – and for this…

yes, this is what I've read, too.

you brush your whole tongue, cheeks and gums and the throat part won't happen.

Doctors aren't perfect. I don't expect all to know all. But I would expect THAT to be something that you could find information about. I would disagree w/ that doctor, but perhaps I AM wrong. However, please tell me why it is I can't have 1k calories at once.

PLUS! Regular people do it all the time by drinking milkshakes or "fancy" coffee drinks or even by eating chinese food. (or at a buffet... or just a really rich big meal.) - I don't, but people do it all the time!

yes, you can. I did... I am anorexic and fighting it... so just making sure I get my daily calorie goal is what we are going for here. Why would you say that I can't?

Also, Milk doesn't cause thrush. Ask a doctor, or atleast google it.

That happened to me yesterday. So I went to Steak n Shake and got a Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake - which has over 1000 calories. :)

The only thing I DID hear that sounded reasonable, was that it CAN make you hungrier and eat more and some people when removing regular soda from their diet and replacing with diet will overcompensate with food calories. I can see this happening.

My doc TOLD me to drink diet soda because I drink so much fluid I need the extra sodium. IDK, i think it's BS.

greeneyed84 - thanks for your comment! I use this program/website to control my (life-long) anorexia and to learn how to eat like a normal person and fix my metabolism.... as does a friend of mine. (Well, I hope she's sticking to it). Anyway - Anorexia doesn't mean weighing 85 pounds. Thanks for helping people notice that.…

I have been under by 5 calories and recieved that warning. I hate it because no one eats EXACTLY 1200 calories - go under and get that warning - go over, well - that doesn't feel very nice either. The warning should trigger at 1000 net calories so it actually MEANS something!

Jif Natural isn't even all that natural. I use Smuckers Natural because ingredients list = Peanuts. Also, I use Walden Farms Peanut Spread because it has ZERO calories!

But not TOO much water! Actually - all liquid counts as water - you don't have to (medically speaking) drink plain water. And too much is a VERY bad thing. I HAVE to drink 3 gallons of fluid a day because of an illness - but I have to ADD salt to everything and watch my blood levels of sodium and potassium. If the average…
