Milk?

Ok, so I was playing around with milk on MFP and it says there are less carbs in 1 and 2% milk than in skim. Is that true or did someone screw up when logging that info? 

Also, I'm in desperate need of MFP buddies so if you are interested, my user name is MaryContrary80, thanks! 

There is also a little less protein as well. With milk, it is usually a mathematical function of removing the fat, but keeping the volume the same, then the other two components (protein and carbs) are naturally going to be proportionately higher (take out 5g of fat from whole milk and it's going to be replaced with roughly 5g of carb and protein.) So, the compromise comes down to whether the 20-50 additional calories of the 1,2 or 3.25% (whole) milks are worth the gram or two of extra carbs, along with the extra gram or two of protein, that you get in skim milk. This makes milk products a great tool for us as we can minimize calories during our loss phase and selectively add calories later for maintenance when we need more but don't have additional room for more volume.

Hey Mary, you can friend me if you like ... jbanales
I haven't had much time to give comments to my friends lately but I'm still on there daily to log in my food dairy. You or anyone can always message me with questions.
