Is there anything wrong with a lot of dairy?

[emsumm]

I've started lifting and I've upped my protein a lot in the past few weeks. That means in a day, I'll eat cottage cheese, milk with whey protein, greek yogurt, and maybe some cheese in a meal. A lot of dairy. Is there anything wrong with that? Like, today, I had yogurt with breakfast, but I wanted it as a snack again later.
I never react badly to it, as far as digestion, etc. Anyone know?

Not as long as you are digesting it properly.

If you don't have any digestion issues, I think it is fine :-) I like my dairy too!

Ok sweet. I'm glad I don't have to worry. I swear I can eat, like, 400 more calories a day when those extra calories are protein vs. carbs. I don't really know any other ways of getting that much protein, except with meat (which I eat, too). My skin's the same as always, and so is my digestion and mucous, lol. Hurray!

I'd watch for constipation.

QFT. Not because of what you're eating now, just in general. Usually the first sign of too much dairy is constipation. So if you're digesting normally, then you're good.

That doesn't seem like an overly large amount of dairy.

I was remarking on my ample intake of dairy to myself the other day and I wondered if my body is just craving calcium, because I'm knitting bones.

I usually have 3-5 servings a day.

Alright, this makes me feel better. Thank you.
8, good luck knitting those bones

I paused here for a second thinking "Laptop is PREGNANT?"

Then I realized you meant your foot.

My SIL is a nurse and once told DH to cut back on the milk a bit...he was drinking A LOT of it at the time, and apparently too much high fat dairy can contribute to gallstones. But I'm not sure exactly how much constitutes "too much".
