Switching from whole to skim milk is the best way to accquire essential dairy nutrients and cut down on your intake of saturated fat and cholesterol. Skim milk has lower than 0.5% milk fat and is generally labeled as “fat free.” Though the de-fatting process also removes the fat-soluble vitamins from the milk, the lost of nutrients is made up through food fortification. Therefore skim milk is equivalent to whole milk on every nutritionally aspect other than its total calories, fat and cholesterol contents, making it an ideal dietary choice for cardiovascular health and weight management.Skim milk has an equally high amount of proteins as regular milk. An average cup of skim milk contains about 8.7 grams of proteins which is 17% of your recommending daily intake. Higher-end brands of skim milk are fortified with high protein powder, increasing its protein content to as much as 12 grams per serving. :)
