Gallon of Milk a Day for Gains
I use roughly a half gallon of fat free milk per day. I don't see why a gallon would hurt! Unless you have lactose issues haha

The problem here is he's talking about drinking a gallon on WHOLE milk a day! I believe WHOLE milk has 8 grams of fat per 8 oz's. which is 128 grams of fat total and 1,152 calories from fat. So, to answer OP's question: YES you will gain weight drinking a gallon of WHOLE milk/day but it is NOT the kind of weight you want to gain. The weight will be mostly body fat and especially at your age you don't want that!!!
The easiest thing to do if you want to gain weight is to track your calorie intake for four days to find out what your BMR is then increase your BMR by 300-500 calories/day making sure to keep your macro split where it should be!!
This game isn't for everyone, being big and bloated doesn't make you the man, nor does being 110lbs ripped. If you are not competing, find a happy medium. I was thin once, learned all there was to learn about steroids and got pretty big. Then learned how to eat and I got really huge.

yeah in all honesty thats pretty dumb and not needed
way to much dairy can cause problems for some people
the amount of saturated fat
and there is roughly 2.5k calories in a gallon of milk.
your normaly diet is probaly 3500 ish calories
having around 6k calories a day at your age without being 150kg of muscle or running alot of drugs is just asking to become fat and unhealthy which in turn leads to alot of other issues.
Like post above said find BMR and eat 300-500 above it. muscle takes time to grow being in 100 surplus and 1000 is no difference but fat gain.

I would have concerns over the lactic acid and it's effects on your muscles. I am only speaking from my youth experience playing baseball and the effects of lactic acid on my throwing arm due to consumption of milk.

25 pounds of Muscle? Fat and Muscle? Milk sugars...not good. I prefer to use low fat/carb Meal Replacement shakes on top of meals. Keeping my cals in check and not trying to add BF...goal is lean Muscle. Why put on additional fat that you'll only spend time trying to take off to see whats underneath

I have a hiatal hernia and serious gerd. I struggle with the diet I've been accustomed to for yrs....I now depend heavily on dairy and I respond well. Skim milk, whole raw eggs (HDL), egg whites, fat free cottage cheese, Greek yogurt....my body breaks em down much easier than even the leanest of meats. I now have to eat 6 whole meals ED and only between 6am and 6pm.
Powder shakes do nothing for me. I make my own whole food shakes for on the go. I make my own. Cream of rice is good for carbs. I use a lot of egg whites, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt, and pineapple for the taste and Bromelain which helps break down protein.

I dont have stomach issues and I eat a similar diet. My reasoning is its cheap to buy those foods even when organic. My dad has the same hernia, 8ts getting bad in his old age. Does the strict diet keep it from getting worse for you Riggs?

Somewhat yess. It's the combination of a lot things that has started helping. I do 1.5 tbs of ACV 2 x ED one b4 bed and one upon waking. 6 oz of Aloe gel 2 x ED. I've had to add Esomeprozole which I hate but it's wkn. Added Metamucil at a heavy load too. Honestly it's too much to type out. Animal fats are difficult to break down so I only eat high quality lean meat. If I don't limit the intake to b4 6pm it interrupts sleep and I've eaten things like 6oz of salmon or chicken breast b4 bed for yrs or even cottage cheese with coconut oil. Shit like that. Not now. It's basically taken 1/2 my usual diet out of the picture. Hell I'll regularly throw a few lbs of steak on the grill, pull it off the grill with my hands, and eat it right there. Can't do that anymore. If I do it now I'll just be nauseated until my body works it down which could be a while.
It's quite honestly a fucking kick in the nuts considering our lifestyle. But that's what we do. We adapt and keep grinding. I haven't been able to deadlift for 6yrs now.
I've rarely squatted in that time too so doing this 20 Squat program is a day to day.

I remember the { WHOLE FOOD PROTEIN SHAKE THREAD} that you made a long
Time ago and people were mixing up milk w tuna fish and oats! . I like your dairy choices vs the tuna fish , peanut , banana , cereal shakes. ??
