    Hey Mark,

    Was thinking of switching from whole milk to half and half. When I looked at the stats on both, it looked like i could get the same of everything with half the volume (1/2 gal of half and half vs 1gal of whole milk). Your thoughts?

    You looked at the stats wrong. Half a gallon of half and half has twice the fat, one third the carbs, and less than half the protein than 1 gallon of milk. If you want less volume, get evaporated milk.

    Canned milk workd really well for me, it seemd much easier to fit that much liquid in my woefully small stomach, even if it is quite a bit thicker. I put on 15 pounds in about a month (then lost 10 due to food poisoning, totally unrelated to the canned milk, but a major pain in the arse, quite literally while it was happening).
