To preface this, I'm gradually cutting, so currently I'm eating 2 meals per day plus a shake, snacks, and MILK.
-MEAL 1: A small breakfast - 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 1 4" protein pancake. (about 30g protein, 30g carbs, 20g fat)
(gym)
-Protein shake (2 scoops) with milk. (about 70g protein, 20g carbs, 10g fat)
-MEAL 2: Varies. (Usually about 50g protein, 50g carbs, 20-30g fat)
-Snacks: Varies (totals to about 20g protein, 50g carbs, 10-20g fat)
-Throughout the day I drink a whole jug of Fairlife 2% milk. It has almost double the protein and half the carbs of regular milk. (about 90g protein, 40g carbs, 30g fat).
So my macros are usually around 260g protein, 190g carbs, 110G fat.
However, about 115g of protein comes from just milk.
How good is milk as a source of protein compared to meat for example? Would you consider this an ok way to get in my protein requirements for the day? Or should I try to get in more whole foods/meats?
Getting almost half of your protein from milk?
