I have a milk problem

Counting calories with a food scale is eye opening. That bit of milk in coffee was actually about 80ml on average and I guess on certain days I might have drank about 300ml in milk. I guess I will switch to drinking my coffee black now.

Overall I think I am someone who is drawn to milk, some people may have sugar cravings, for me it’s hard to resist milk. (Fermented dairy like yogurt or quark is totally different for me, it doesn’t trigger the same reactions).

    Be careful with those products if you have diabetes or need to watch your blood sugar levels for other reasons. Many oat milk products claim to be a healthy alternative, and calorie-wise that might be true, but they contain a lot of maltose. The companies add amylase to their oat milk to convert the oat starch into maltose which serves the purpose that it sweetens the milk without having to add extra sugar. Maltose has a ridiculous glycemic index of 105, lactose has 46 for reference, which means that your blood sugar level will spike more than double than with an equivalent amount of lactose.
