dairy and milk on a cut?

[QT]

Is it bad? I've heard so but also that its good on a cut, and I drink 6 dl of skim milk each day. Should I cut this out? And why is dairy bad?

[th3pwn3r]

If you're trying to cut anything that eliminates your caloric deficit is bad. If you're staying at the deficit you want then it's not bad.

when I cut, I eliminate dairy products. Not because they are bad, but because I need to cut down on the calories. If you can fit dairy into your macros though, by all means go for it.

It fits my macros perfectly.

I drink a cup of milk with my cereal each day and then a cup with my whey protein, so two cups a day and usually equates to 250 calories a day and is 2%, not skim as I can't drink that stuff...

I fit it in my macros though, which if you can do it, by all means do it, especially if you like it. I am even a little lactose intolerant, lol!

nice yeah. My 6 dl of skim milk totals a 198 cals, 20g protein, 28,8 g carbs and 0,6 g fat.

When on a bulk I normally drink 2% (Whole if I'm having trouble gaining).
On a cut I drink skim milk.

Honestly, I'd be screwed without dairy. I've eaten it during my entire weight loss. Skim milk, cottage cheese and yogurt are staples of my diet. I have each at least once, some twice, a day. They don't negatively affect weight loss at all, and they're EXCELLENT sources of protein.

I mix milk (1%) with my ON whey protien shake while i'm cutting. I think as long as you're still creating a defecit....you'll be fine.

Yep, another good source of protein in diary is cottage cheese. I eat 1 cup of that a day as it gives me 27g of protein.

That's all you need then. Everyone's diet is different, if yours can fit some milk and yogurt, then why not. Especially low/non fat, solid source of protein.

I can't do without my fat free cottage cheese and skim milk.....I'm on a longterm cut and I do it

now...when I get my bf lower then I will need to cut some of it out of my diet...but for now I can still have it

I have one cup of vitamin d milk every morning with my fiber one honey clusters and have lost a steady 2 lbs per week for 3 months now. If it fits your macros then there is no reason you can't have it
