Generally, even when bulking I usually suggest you stick to skim milk. Although it has less calories the calories you miss are mostly from saturated fats and you are better off replacing them with healthier sources.troubador said:I'm bulking. should i drink skim or whole milk. i think whole milk has more calories (and fat of course) so it would be easier to meet my calorie requirements. but most poeple say the drink skim in their post. so which is it?
Isn't it amazing? My brothers think skim milk tastes like water, I think the milk they drink tastes like butter.sabre81 said:ive drank skim milk for so long, whole milk tastes like im drinking butter.
troubador said:so 1,2% or skim seems to be the most choice.whats an ectomorph, sounds like a kids super hero character.been on the skim. i'll probally stick to that.
Emma-Leigh said:An ectomorph is what is known as a 'somatotype' - which is a classification system used in relation to the genetic basis of your 'body type' ... It is basically a way of catagorising you in terms of bone structure, natural muscle mass, metabolic rate, propensity to gain fat etc etc (and it actually goes as far as including things such as the shape of your fingers and the condition of your skin and hair!).
There are three basic somatotypes - Ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph (although it is a rare individual that is a perfect match to only one somatotype - it is much more complex that that and most people are a mixture)...
But ectomorps are those individuals that are naturally lean. They are what people think of when you talk about a typical 'hard gainer'. That is - Long lean limbs, small boned, small muscle bellies, have a hard time gaining muscle, but do not have a lot of fat on them either... Oh yeah - and they can eat enough to support a small army with no effect on their waistline!
Hence the comments along the lines of 'if you are an ectomorph then drink up'.
Hee hee... Sorry - I tend to type like that sometimes! Maybe if I had of just said "it means you are a skinny bastard who gets to eat crap and still see your ribs"!DeadBolt said:Gees sounds like you quoted that right how of my proffesors notes lol!
