Too much sugar??

I started drinking Click Vanilla Latte in the morning - so two scoops with 12 oz of skim deluxe milk.  I was using regular skim milk and then started using the deluxe which is 1 more gram of protein and only 90 calories.  However, when I entered it on My Fitness Pal I noticed the milk and the click were 24 grams of sugar.  I must have had the wrong listing for the regular skim milk before because it never showed the sugar and i didn't realize I was drinking that much.

Anyway, do you think that is too much sugar?

Everything I see shows that the Deluxe milk has 16 grams of sugar versus 12 grams for regular skim per cup.  Not a big difference.  The 12 in regular milk comes from Lactose.  Two scoops of Click has 7 grams of sugar - again lactose.  So a total of 18 versus 23 sugars.

Probably not a problem with that much lactose unless you are intolerant.  I'd never heard of deluxe skim milk and had to google it.  Makes me wonder where the other 4 grams of sugar come from.

May I make a suggestion?  Use powdered skim milk instead of the Skim Deluxe, then use water instead of milk to make your shake.   One-third cup is 8 g protein and 12 g lactose sugar.  When added to a protein shake and mixed with water, it tastes just like you made it with milk.

Just a note -- I find Click tastes better made with jus****er (no milk in liquid or powder form). 

I also use a tablespoon of milk per 6-8 oz of greek yogurt to mellow out the tang.

I like to have the powdered around because adding it to my yogurt is the only time I use milk, so keeping the liquid kind around is wasteful, as it spoils before I use it.

 

Sorry to highjack but  Ramie I noticed  you had the band then converted to bypass . I am in the same position, had my band in 05 and will be converting to bypass possibly by the end of this month. May I ask how your recovery went? and how you adjusted to the difference in eating band vs. bypass.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks,

 as long as you can tolerate it I don't see a problem.  Your not eating a piece of cake.. your drinking a protein shake with milk so your getting in your protein and calcium.
