What is semi milk?
Joe
Generally regarded it as normal milk for the last thirty years in the UK. If someone said “do you want milk?” I would expect this to be the thing they are offering.
I think it has the best ratios of nutrition, and tastes good.
The other two versions are unaltered, referred to as “full fat” (good for cappuccinos), and skimmed which has almost all the fat removed but is watery and crap.
Ah roger that. Over here we’re “whole milk”, “2%”, and “skim”. I might just start using the phrase “semi milk” for the hell of it.

Been around at least 43 years. We have been drinking skimmed milk since 1983.
Not while I’ve got breath in my body. If the universe had intended for me to drink skimmed milk it would have made skimmed cows.
I still remember my dad spitting out tea made with skimmed milk in the 1980s 
It’s an abomination
Milk, low fat and skim (which is correctly pointed out, an abomination).
I don’t even want to ask what you guys think of fat free mozzarella!
I am up 13 watts and down 7 lbs in the last 8 weeks using the numbers here. The calories were really only ~100kC off what My Fitness Pal suggested, which makes sense that I carry a little more muscle than the average, sedentary person.
Give me full fat any day (and double cream in coffee)!
Looking at the nutrition calculator, I am surprised it does not increase carbs on the days before and after exercise - if I was doing a hard ride in the morning would i not want to carb load the night before? Or if i did a hard ride late in the day, would i need extra fuel the day after?
Interestingly, I received an email from Levels (a CGM-related app) recently with a link to this article, which seems pretty much the opposite of what’s proposed here (definitely more in line with a keto diet). In the end, I suppose, everyone has to figure out what works best for them.
Another interview with him here.
I wouldn’t call it opposite, I’d say it’s an “also”. The science presented is not contradictory.
ketogenic diets are so hard to implement (especially if you are burning 4k+ kcal on a average day) that this is not even worth the discussion IMO.
Trying to give the nutrition calculator a shot and fed my results into Gemini to get an idea of what I need to consume in a day.
What nutrition apps are people using to track their diet/macros? Ideally not looking for something paid but want to give it a couple weeks or a month of solid tracking to get an idea of where I’m at.
I’ve been using/building Glycogo for this (app.glycogo.fit). I originally made it for myself after finding some things in other platforms (like Hexis/Fuelin) didn’t quite fit my needs.
It’s based around setting a baseline energy availability target, then adjusting daily needs on top of this based on training load (duration + RPE) to provide estimated calories, and carbs needed for sessions. It also lets you track within-day energy availability and your biggest deficit so you can see how meal timing affects things.
It has photo logging + an AI assistant for meal ideas/recipes, but the actual nutrition calculations are algorithm-based rather than AI.
It’s free right now and I’d love feedback if you try it. If you find it useful and want to support it, there’s also an option to contribute which would be super appreciated. Thanks!
I use garmin nutrition in Garmin connect app.
Now that my main event for the year is done. I’m going to try this as an experiment.
The main thing I’ve taken away is the more controlled fat vs carb intake.
It’ll be interesting to see what the impacts are in 6 weeks! Particularly if any weight gain happens.
I really like the concept. It’s exactly what one needs, modulate CHO with activity. My only ‘complain’ is that the thresholds are individual and not scientifically validated for men.
