Knowing that some gals can have a tough time getting enough calories without going over their other limits (sodium, fat, protein), I wondered about an "add-in" like Strawberry Nesquik. If you're already planning on having a cup of skim milk with your meal, for example, is it okay to add this? The powder adds 60 calories per 2 Tbsp, but has no fat, no sodium, no protein and only trace amounts of nutrients (10% each for vitamin C, calcium, B6, zinc, copper and manganese). The syrup adds 50 calories per 1 Tbsp, still no fat, sodium or protein, and it doesn't have any nutrients listed above 0%.
I'm highlighting the Nesquik (the main ingredients for the syrup are sugar, water and high fructose corn syrup -- woo boy, that's healthy! :)) versus something like Carnation Instant Breakfast, which does have healthier/blue-sway attributes (160 mg sodium, 5g protein, 25% calcium, 140% vitamin C, etc.).
Atomic? Others? Your thoughts on the Nesquik as a viable sway tool?
(A side question: I assume skim chocolate milk is probably a no-no for pink, due to the chocolate? Or would the chocolate content be minor enough to make it worth the benefit of having more calories than skin milk, but no extra protein or whatnot?)
