Dave- Heavy Cream really? I keep a gallon of skim milk at work for coffee or when I don't have time to eat. I figured it was cheap, quick protein. I stayed away from cream because of the fat content. Even though I'm a skinny guy I hate to gain fat weight. So I take it that the milk sugar turns to fat anyway if I don't burn it. Maybe I need to keep some protein bars in my desk and 86 the milk.

Thanks for the tips.

Skim milk has ~12g of sugar(lactose)/serving which will cause an insulin spike at an uneeded time most likely..The carb/sugar count in heavy cream is virtually nil so I would rather go with that as long as you are not combining it with alot of carbs....

dave you think that the sugar in skim milk is bad if someone drinks it in the morning. it seems like if you drink coffee in the morning the skim milk wouldnt be bad at all. not to mention the fact that the 12 g is per serving, like you said, and im sure no one uses 8 ounces of milk in their coffee.

To answer your question no I dont think it would be bad,and understand that people don't use 8oz in coffee,but heavy cream yeilds a better taste/qty ratio in my opinion.

I am going to have to look into getting some heavy cream. I keep hearing good things about it. I normally use a splash of fatfree creamer for my coffee in the mornings.
Since I drink it before working out in the mornings, how is the heavy cream with the fat content good for pre-work out. I thought it was always good to injest low fat/high carbs pre-workout.

That's the way I go. I use heavy cream because I want the fat and splenda in my coffee.

OK, where do I get the heavy cream? Can I just pick it up at the grocery store?
