Weight Gain Mystery Solved (maybe)
Despite working out a minimum of 3 hours per day (most of it near my lactate threshold) and watching what I eat, I've been steadily gaining about 1.5 pounds per week since Christmas.
While shopping with Amy tonight, I caught a glimpse of the nutrition label on the non-fat milk I drink and was shocked to see that each serving contains 90 calories and there are 16 servings per gallon. Not so bad until I realized that I'm drinking about a gallon per day. That's 1,440 calories in milk ALONE. Going to have to cut that by 75% if I'm going to start losing weight.
I thought I was doing good but cutting out all soda, coffee and eating a lot of fiber but I never thought about the milk until now. Milk is probably the only true addiction I really have so cutting back is going to be really hard.

What? You drink a gallon of milk a day?!

Yes, sometimes more.

Try drinking water instead. :p I can’t imagine drinking that much milk. I don’t even drink that much in a month.

Yeah, I drink a lot of water but milk tastes so good. I crave it all the time during the day and especially at night. I don’t think girls drink much milk at all. I can’t remember the last time I saw Amy drink milk.
