Does Milk count as carbs?
So quick question. I always see posts about how many carbs a day is good etc. I see figures like 30 or 40. Do these numbers include carbs from milk used for the protien shakes. It would suck if it did because there is quite a bit of carbs in milk. Thanks for the answer.

If it's a carb you're consuming, it counts. When you log a protein shake on MyFitnessPal, you enter the powder, then the milk (or soy milk) and that will give you your total carb count for that shake.
That's why I usually mixed mine with water, but recently switched to soy milk as I typically keep my carbs low at every other meal.

Wow - So basically everyone is doing NO carb. 2 shakes and I will use up my carbs for the day. I thought I remember my nutritionist saying milk didn't count as a carb. Maybe I misunderstood. Oh well. Soy is not an option for me as I have done research on it and surprisingly it is not the health food everyone thinks it is. Actually its not healthy at all for you. Oh well. Not the answer I wanted to hear, but I guess sometimes the truth hurts.

One, not everyone is doing low or no carb. Two, there is a low carb milk available. It's made by hood, has 35 cals, no fat, and 4 carbs per 8 oz.
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!
