I had allot of people that was "calorie counting" over anything else.
Allot of people say Drink Milk or Juice over Soda. But in reality.
While Milk is over all better because it has protein. What allot of people seem to fail to realize is a can of soda is around a pints worth.
2% milk is 130 or so calories. but if you get the same amount as a can of soda it's 240-260 calories (although 16g of protein).
I was looking at allot of juices and allot of them are 120-140 calories per serving and 40g of sugar. About the same as a soda except again if you had a pints worth it'd be 240-280 calories and 80 grams of sugar
So honestly, in my opinion drink whatever you want. If you're really worried about calorie counting, only drink water or unsweetened teas or barely sweetened like most green teas

Yes, juice can be a trap. It contains vitamin C, which is good, but also a lot of sugars. A bit is healthy enough but it shouldn't be most of your fluid intake. A glass of apple juice can contain all the calories of several apples, without any of the useful fibre.

by nearly a pint you mean 3/4 of a pint, or 75% of a pint, which isn't really that close to a pint.
one of the main reasons you shouldn't drink soda (or most kinds of juices) though is the high fructose corn syrup, that stuff is not very good for you.

Exactly not to mention the acid in soda which wears away at your enamel. When it comes to oral health its not just the sugar in soda that's back for your teeth, the acid plays a major role.

Just a random factoid, but did you know that the US is one of the biggest consumers of Milk, and yet we are one of the most calcium deficient countries? Yes, vitamins like calcium is important, but always balance vitamins with minerals. What helps break down calcium? I think it's magnesium?
Calorie counting can be very useful for losing weight... my advice on it is don't over do it and send your body into a catalyst state.

Milk is antibiotic semi-puss fluid that comes out of an animal. I don't think I need to say more. There are way healthier alternatives to milk.
Best drink for losing weight or keeping it the same, water.
Bulking, has to be milk, as much as I hate it.
