Half cup of skim milk + half cup of regular milk was my default “healthy” combination for years. In multiple offices, I enjoyed it for years often with microwave heating.
To my surprise, there’s a tastier yet lighter combination, thanks to my research.
| choice: | milo | almond milk | total at 50/50 | realistically | |
| 70 cal | + 60 cal/cup = |
130 cal | 70+50=120 #if less almond | ||
| choice | whole milk | skim milk | default is 110 calorie fatter ↴ | ||
| 150 cal/cup | + 90 cal/cup = | 240 cal | 150+80=230 #if less skim | ||
–debate over BMI impact
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-dairy-bad-or-good#obesity-and-diabetes says whole milk, not skim milk, is associated with reduced obesity.
However, my family is not obese. For us, skim milk probably improves BMI.
