I have to say I am surprised by milk, eggs and peanut butter as far burning foods. Since all of these foods have a decent amount of fat in them, especially peanut butter, one may think it would work the other way. I am glad you pointed this out though since I am trying to cut a bit but didn’t want to give up milk!
