Is milk good for meal planning?

Milk in coffees, cereals and recipes adds up fast. A few flat whites and a bowl of cereal a day can easily add 300–500 kcal without it feeling like food.

Switching from whole to semi-skimmed or skimmed milk is a low-effort way to drop daily calories without changing what you actually eat.

How to use milk in a meal plan

  • Use in porridge for a creamier breakfast
  • Add to coffees — but log it to stay aware
  • Base for high-protein smoothies
  • Try unsweetened almond or soya as a low-calorie swap
