Sport Milk!!

[may-cute]

Hmm... ok this is my thread about milk!! See, I am 13 years old and I really didn't get a clear picture of how milk helps me to grow taller. I was drinking alot of milk in the past 3 month and I seem to gain weight!! Can u explain pls? and what else can I do to be taller?

Milk has calcium which is required to strengthen and allow for the development and growth of your bones. Thus you would get taller by having a sufficient amount of calcium for your bones to use. Milk can cause you to gain weight if you drink too much of it, I would recommend having skim milk and having it in moderation (1-2 cups per day). If you combine this with a healthy diet, workout, and meal plan you shouldn't be gaining much if any weight because of it. Just make sure you get good excercise and eat the right kinds of foods and your weight should be fine.

I drink milk CONSTANTLY. At LEAST 4 glasses a day. Great protein source.

The minimum I drink in a day is half a gallon. Most of the time it's closer to a gallon. But it's definatly very calorie dense, so adjust your diet accordingly.

Mreik - a gallon??? thats quite a lot of milk.

how old are you and how much do you weight? if you dont mind me asking.

I drink 2 pints a day, thats my 2 protein shakes.

i usually drink 12 cups a day, which is 3/4 of a gallon.

even skim milk, at 12 cups a day will run you around 1080 calories a day of just milk. That is probably why it is difficult for you to lose weight, try cutting down a bit, maybe 2-4 cups a day would be better?

how much protien does milk have. Considering I am at school and I only eat chicken/turkey/fish because of my religion

Half gallon a day is a lot. I drink 1/3rd of a gallon and I thought I have too much milk.
