Milk while bulking...

[TheBandit]

While bulking, what kind of milk should I use for shakes, cereal etc? Nonfat? 1%? 2%?

 

[b fold the truth]

I actually alternate between whole and 2%. If I am looking for the calories...I get them any place that I can.

I would say that it depends on your metabolism. I have to drink skim no matter what simply because I have a slower type metabolism. Lower in calories and real low in fat. A lot of my friends though can bulk up drinking a gallon or so of 1-2% per day and make some great gains without getting fat. 1% contains around 100 calories for every 8 ounces and 2% is 120 calories while whole milk is 140 calories. If your the smaller skinnier type, I dont think the extra calories from fat will affect you too much. Hopefully Mr. X will respond.

I would generally say 1% or skim milk. All depending on your other micro-nutrient ratios, and amounts you are trying to reach.

MR X... what do you think about lactaid milk?

most say that the lactose in milk is what turns to fat...
lactaid milk is fat free and lactose free... is this good for
use during bulking?
