About Skim Milk
Very low-fat milk; about 60% of whole milk's calories.
Health Benefits of Skim Milk
Only 0.3% fat; much lower calories
Centrifuging removes most milkfat, dropping fat from ~3.2% to 0.3% and calories from 54 to 34 kcal/100ml. For people controlling fat and total calories, skim milk is a lighter dairy choice.
Protein and calcium largely kept
Skimming removes mainly fat; protein (3.0g/100ml) and calcium are nearly unchanged. Switching to skim keeps your protein and calcium without the extra calories from fat - good for those dieting that also want protein and calcium.
Keeps 3g protein, same calcium; only 34 kcal
Without the fat, skim milk tastes thinner and less creamy. It works well mixed into coffee, tea, oatmeal or protein powder to mask the texture while adding protein. If you dislike the thin taste, low-fat milk (1.5% fat) is a middle ground.
