Is it ok to drink 1 gallon of milk everyday?

[ckwarrior]

I find it hard to get protein throughout the day and it'd be an easy 128 grams of protein to just down a gallon of milk everyday. Or is there a better/healthier alternative? Im trying to lose weight/get stronger by the way.

Just buy some whey protein ...?

yea, seriously, you will spend less on 4-5 shakes, than a gallon of milk per day...that said, shakes will give you more than just protein too. So keep that in mind. But, if you can afford it, and stomach it, nothing wrong with a gallon of milk a day.

ckwarrior, ive seen you on here for months at the least...you should know what whey protein is. Look around on the forums and website for information on it.

What's whey protein?!

Try giving this a shot. It's what I use..and I find that it helped me put on some weight...great taste. But, I would split the suggested serving in half. That way you save $$ and whey .

You could but I'm weary about over doing the dairy protein.

x2...drinking a lot of milk, could give you upset stomach (The runs). I try to at least drink 3-7 cups of milk daily. I never seem to have a problem with it..but usually I just stick with Protein shakes and real food (chicken, steak, salmon, tuna) for my protein intake.

I drink 3 litres of milk a day and it's tough at first.

Make sure you drink 3 litres of water a day to, for me it helps to stop the frothy farts that acommpany milk.

It sounds like alot, but you get used to it.

In my opinion, it's great. I pretty much think the same way you do when it comes to milk. I'd say that I probably drink a gallon a day at least.

Ive been drinking at least a gallon of non fat milk a day for a very long time and just recently found that homoginized milk may increase ur Cholesteral level.................. had my medical tests for the fire department and found that my hdl levels (good cholesteral) was low and my ldl (bad cholesteral was high) idk if there was a connection but i have cut down extremely on my milk consumption ............ so i wouldnt recommend it, but if you do be sure to take some omega-3 fish oil supplements, it raises your hdl levels, with lowers your bad cholesteral

Milk is an easy way to get extra calories, so yes, its ok.

Concerning prote?n, do you eat quark (curd cheese, whatever you call it)?

I try and drink 2 litres a day, but I have Whey, and Protein from Meat etc too, Chicken, Canned Tuna, Beef, Eggs are all good sources of Protein, and easy to get. If you are out during the day then I find Canned Tuna the best food to take with me, and there are a few things you can do with it to make it more interesting

i drink round 1-2 litre

what about tuna cans
it's smaller, cheaper...more protein...and it's easy to eat 3x120gram cans=100 grams of pro per meal
I eat 4-5 cans of tuna per day

[ARPace]

I drink around 2.5litres a day, my mum gets pissed off. It's an easy way to digest around 80 grams protein and 125grams of carbs

Way too much sugar, aim for 5-6 cups.

Yeah its best to watch the sugar in milk, all though its natural sugar too much sugar is never too great.
