- 1cup of cows milk contains 148 calorie
1cup of buffalo milk contains 238 calorie
- 90 % of cows milk is water and excellent to keep hydrated.
So for maintaining ideal body weight cows milk is better

It depends on your current weight. If you are overweight or obese, it would be better to go for fat free milk. Even if you are of the right weight and want to maintain it, it would take a lot more than just having the right type of milk in your diet. Overall calorie intake with quality diet will help you lose as well as maintain weight. Please take an appointment with me to address your concern.
