[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is kinda a follow up to the other posts about protein. 
DD is 13. 
Breakfast was 2 eggs on naan bread with cheese 24g protein
Lunch ramen with veggies (corn/carrots/edamame) 14g protein

Mango smoothie just now with greek yogurt, mango, almond milk, chia seeds. 16g protein
That’s 54g already today and hasn’t had dinner yet.

This is so much dairy. [/quote]

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:  So many almond moms on here. 
My two teen boys go through a gallon of milk a day. Sometimes more. In addition to cheese, yogurt....[/quote]

The dairy conversation is weird because it’s so ethnically dependent.  My husband and I are both half Irish and grew up drinking like 32 ounces of milk a day until we were in our 20s.  We still drink probably a glass a day of milk as 50 year olds.  But I have friends who are Asian who never drink milk and friends who are Jewish who are very lactose intolerant.

A half galon a day is a lot thought even for a teen athlete as that js 8 glasses of milk a day — at that level it interferes with iron absorption and even a supper lactose friendly person has trouble digesting that much lactose that quickly.  
You’re saying they drink more than 64 ounces of milk a day., in addition to other forms of dairy.   That’s really a lot, and I’m the most pro-dairy person I’ve ever met.

Not if you drink raw milk. [/quote]
