By Wu Liang-yi and Dennis Xie / Staff reporter, with staff writerPeople should drink 240ml of milk two times a day to get enough protein and calcium, the Health Promotion Administration (HPA) said yesterday, adding that most Taiwanese do not have enough calcium in their diet. The HPA cited guidelines it introduced in October that recommend what people who frequently eat out should order at Taiwanese or Western-style breakfast shops to ensure a balanced and nutritious first meal of the day. People can order one cup of fresh milk tea without sugar, or one glass bottle of long-life milk, and consume another 240ml later in the day, it said. Soybean milk is not a substitute, as its nutritional value is different, the HPA said. However, vegetables in meals at breakfast stores do not meet the daily minimum amount, so more should be eaten at lunch and dinner, it said.
