choc milk and protein bars

[Liquid]

i have 2 questions
waht are the advantages/disadvantages of drinkin chocolate milk instead of the reg 2% milk (if there any) and what do you guys take.
2nd
i went to costco today and saw protein bars with 30 grams protein in every bar and a box of 12 bars costed like 20 bux + tax (canadian). i was wondering if that was a g00d price (cuz it was the cheapest in the store and it still seemed to be a bit expensive to me =/ )
k thx

Choc milk has the same fat as 2% milk, the change is the carbs, choc milk has a lot more, good for bulking I would assume. When I drink white milk I always drink skim, just to cut back on that fat.

[Mark21087]

Chocolate milk has more fat too b/c chocolate is added, and chocolate has a high amount of saturated fat.

so what would be the better one to take for bulking...

and about the protein bars - g00d price or not

Here in ontario the only chocolate milk you can buy is 1%, or low fat which is .3%.

It has around 15-18 more carbs (chocolate flavouring) per serving compared to 2%, but only has 2.8 grams of fat compared to over 4 in white 2%.

Maybe this stuff varies but province/state.
