Milk is so calorie dense, I stopped to drink coffee after measuring it all out (discuss.tchncs.de)

Tracking calories for weight loss, I realized that milk is "heavy", and I poured a lot of it into my coffee. Now I can think of better use for these calories (in solid form) in my <2000kcal deficit plan.

Heard THAT!

Even veggie milks seem so high in Kcals, altho getting -plain- veggie milk without sugar does help from that standpoint.

When I make coffee these days, I just use some of the powdered stuff. As a non-coffee connoisseur, it's 'good enough,' and low in ~~BS~~ kcals, salt, sugar, etc.

Another substitution I'm head over heels with is using plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and even cheese, to an extent. It's impressively low in calories, a decently-tasty substitute, and full of nice probiotics for gut, brain, and total-body health. :-)
