Thoughts on lactose?
ad
One thing I enjoy adding to protein shakes is powdered milk or sometimes 50%/50% real milk and water. One thing about milk in general is the lactose or the sugar in milk. Maybe I'm overdoing it on the powdered milk. I get maybe 46g of dry milk per day has 24g of lactose (this is 2 servings per day) - is this insanely high or is just me??! Half of this by mass is fucking sugar??!
Should I reduce the amount of milk I'm wondering? Because of the lactose? I'm not intolerant, but I tend to veer on the side of thinking that sugar like poison. At least fast, quick sugars... Anyway, thoughts?

Sounds like my idea of Hell that - I'm lactose intolerant.
I'm no lactose intolerant but I like the fair life milk, the only kind I drink. 6g of sugar per serving.
I'm familiar with fair life. Forgot about the extra protein. I'll give them another try!
I'm lactose intolerant
Yessir that fairlife. Good ole fashioned protein!
That is what I drink also, but just due to the fact it has 2x the amount of protein.
You mentioned it, tried it. Great stuff, mixes great with powders, just can't get past the extra price. But if the price off sets the protein gain, then maybe I'll rethink it.
Wally World always seems to have it on sale. I fill the cart up. Chocolate is one of my favorite post workout drinks.
I tried that one too. Shit is amazing and mixes with everything !
Ol' wally world seems to have the best prices for me. Or if a store has a sale I'll buy in bulk.
I really like goat milk. Do you get that on your farm?
I actually have a few LaMancha (dairy) goats that could be milked daily, especially now since they all have babies atm. But it's a time consuming process and takes some patience. I'm so busy with work, etc just don't have the time to really capitalize and utilize the resource. But yeah it's very rich milk for sure. I'll post one of my fav girls in that breed later....
There she is….that’s Harley.
Same, the protein is the seller for me. Use it for my shakes to get that little extra umph
If the lactose doesn't bother you then not a big deal.
JohnJuiceThe sugar found in milk is not the same as the added sugars found in processed foods and beverages.
As for your specific situation, consuming 46g of dry milk per day may not be a cause for concern if you are otherwise maintaining a balanced and varied diet.
If you are still concerned about the sugar change the milk, like almond milk or soy milk
I'm happy enough not to be lactose intolerant, but my gf is and I'm buying her a lactase ensyme and other digestive agents to help her with this. It helps with bloat as well as farts. Consider milk from oats or nuts as an alternative, these are tasty and healthy
TricepatopsPowdered milk I don't know of anyone using that. I buy low lactose milk or lactose free milk. It digests differently then other carbs but for some who are intolerant to it causes bloating and gas and stomach aches. I prefer fairlife due to the extra protien in it and lower carbs and no lactose. Plus protien shakes taste so much better with milk.
I like using cashew or almond milk for my protein shakes. Thin like water and doesnt bloat like milk. Easy on gas.
TricepatopsI can't buy almond milk because to me it is a rip off. How can a half a gallon of almond milk have less fat then a 1oz serving of almonds? That is me though, just can't understand how they can sell low fat or fat free almond milk when the whole nutrition benefit is the fat from the almonds.
I never thought about that. Wife started picking it up for her and i started using hers lol and now she just buys enough. I watched how its actually made though. Interesting.
TricepatopsMy dad refuses to buy almond milk because it takes like 20 gallons of water or something crazy to make half a gallon of it. My numbers could be wrong but it isn't eco friendly.
Hmm if you add carb with your Shake, best source is dextrin or vitargo but personnaly i use Cream of rice.
You can use milk but the digestion is not optimal (we are all different but generally), i prefer use allons milk for taste. Decrease the quantity of milk for inflammation and quality of skin.
