Milk... Tons of conflicting opinions...

[11bInBalad]

I've searched this board and it seems hard to nail down any solid information about milk, seems that most everything are opinion (with a few good exceptions). What I'd like to know is how many of you guys use milk when on a bulking cycle? If you DO use milk, how much a day and what kind (whole, 2%, 1%, or skim). Thanks for throwing in your .02! -11b

Man I feel you, I have had the same questions and I love milk, but I finally decided to go with the fat free carb countdown milk which is made by HOOD, I drink about 1/2 gallon everyday, cutting/bulking whatever, the nutrition info is as follows:
serving size: 1 cup
cals:70
fat grams: 0
carb grams: 3 (sugars)
fiber: 0
protein grams: 12
Try it you might like it, its good in shakes and with food...

Thanks, is that the same as the atkins milk (I don't think it is made by them but has their seal smack on the front of it). I've tried it and although it tastes weird, it's not too bad. I don't mind the calories though for bulking. Anyone else care to chime in?

I just go with plain old skim milk. I use 2 cups skim, 1 to 1/2 scoops ON Protein powder chocolate flavor. I drink 4 of those a day, TASTE'S GREAT! Breaks down like this per shake:

Cal. 290
Pro. 41g.
Carb. 29g.
Fat. 1 1/2g.

Here's a lil trick, mix it up and let it sit and settle in the fridge overnight or for a few hours, taste's JUST LIKE chocolate milk!!

Up to a gallon a day, skim only though, bulking or not.

1% here, I drink a huge glass with every meal when bulking

Love The Shit 1% All The Year Although I Never Really Cut Anyway

yeah i can't give it up either, although now i drink skim only. i probably go through a gallon every 3 or 4 days, mainly because i only use it for shakes or when i'm eating protein bars.

a well known pro once told me to stay away from milk; he said it thickened the skin and skim milk in particular had too many carbs... i don't know... i like it.

I drink 3/4 to a gallon a day when bulking, about 1/2 gallon when off. I love milk and its the only way I can get in all the calories and protein. It's got some sugar, but there is no possible way I can eat 4500 cals a day of food. I drink skim.
