    I've been going to the Gym, tryin to get in shape. I've been eating chicken fillets every day & am getting sick of it. Are there any other ready made or convenient food that would also be good? Also, is a lot of milk good or bad?

    Just a personal question, have you lost weight by doing that anyways?

    Btw I would have thought too much milk is bad, very bad, though then again what would I know!

    Milk is great if you are trying to put on mass.Im currently drinking 3/3.5 litres of milk a day.

    Urg. I'd say your kidneys love you :P. Thankfully I'm allergic to it so I don;t have to touch the stuff, hate the old milk so I do.

    From here: Milk and other dairy products are high in protein, phosphorous, potassium and sometimes sodium.

    Not that milk is dangerous or anything like that, but drinking that much of it in addition to other sources of protein practically gives your kidneys as much of a workout as you end up doing yourself in the gym :)

    I wasn't slating milk.

    Ah sure ingesting too much of anything will do you harm. A litre of milk has (very approximately) 25g of protein in it so 75g of protein per day won't strain your kidneys unnecessarily. similalry with the macronutrients and minerals, it's a lot harder than you'd imagine to OD on them.

    While milk is definitely not perfect and it's easy to argue that it's very overprocessed and doused with antibiotics these days, there's a lot worse you could be doing than drinking it. Although 3.5L a day is quite a lot...

    3.5L of whole milk? That would be ~140g of fat from milk alone!

    Half lowfat and half fullfat(no lowfat available in college).Having said that,mark rippletoe suggests a gallon of FULL FAT milk for his starting strength programme
