How Good Is Milk For Body Building?

Written by admin on September 3, 2009

I intend to have a lean muscle built, for which I have been consuming over 200ml of chilled milk daily, apart from other protein sources. But many sources say that milk is a source of fats. So should I continue having milk if I want to build a lean, muscular body(repeated for emphasis) like Hugh Jackman?

Bodybuilders of old drank milk and built great physiques.

Milk is a great source of protein, but whole milk does have a lot of fat. This may not be a problem if you are trying to get maximum calories.

You may want to switch to 2% or skim milk if calories/fat are a concern.

    Milk has a lot of good fats which help guys bulk up. It has been stated that a lot of bodybuilders drink skim or partly skimmed milk and a lot of it (a gallon) each day to maintain themselves. Milk also has a lot of protein in it, a crucial part of building muscle.

    You can use skim milk or even chocolate milk as your recovery drink.
