Milk for the intermediate

First of all, thanks for all the information. I really appreciate the perspective from which you folks talk about training and nutrition, very rational and objective based. It’s clear your recommendations are based on your proven real world results, not a bunch of folklore passed on from bro to bro

To my question. In your food simplified article you say I can’t drink my calories so my question is how bad is it to drink 12 oz of milk in a smoothie with whey and some oats? I’m following your muscle building macro recommendation and I’d rather not eat another 2.5 cups of brown rice. All this chewing is quite time consuming.

Also, is honey an acceptable carb source? I put a tbsp and a half in my oats in the morning.

Thanks

It’s not bad at all. Honey is okay in the context you mention here.
