Heavy Cream?

[rockstarjacked]

How do you guys feel about consuming "heavy whipping cream" for bulking up? A 16-ounce container costs $4.00 and contains roughly 1600 calories (mostly from saturated fat). Here is a link to a more precise nutritional facts breakdown for heavy cream... <http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/cream-heavy-fluid>... I would not consider this for a "clean" bulk, but in terms of putting on as much weight as possible as quick as possible, do you feel this would be a viable method?

Most weight possible - it will work.

But I have no idea why someone would want to bulk up primarily on fats.

Better off just drinking a glass of whole milk at each meal. Plus milk costs less per gallon than 16oz of Heavy cream

I could see if you are burning a ton of cals in your daily job and your maint cals were really high, fats would boost your cals the quickest, liquid all that much better.

it would be "clean" if you were doing something like the Anabolic Diet. I tried that and it just made me nauseous. But if it's good quality dairy it would be some decent food.

HWC is great is coffee and scrambled eggs.

Agree with this. Unless there is a reason you need to add in 1600 cals of fat, get some protein with each sip. A gallon of whole milk is 2500 calories and has a lot of protein in it. There is a reason that the GOMAD ("gallon of milk a day" for those unfamiliar) has such a following for bulking up. I did it in my teens when there seemed not enough calories in the world for me to gain weight and it definitely worked. I can probably credit 20 lbs of muscle growth in my teens to that dietary strategy alone.

You may not need a whole gallon a day, but start with 16 ounces at 4 meals a day... that's a half gallon. It's also an additional 64 grams of protein along with the 1250 calories (whole milk).

When I've been on a strict Keto diet, I treat myself to the occasional tub of clotted cream. Milk does not agree with me but I'm fine with yogurt, cheese and cream. Trouble is that I have a tendency to eat the whole tub in one go. Lol.

I should add that I wouldn't do this if I was having any sugar or carbs in my diet.

Heavy cream is a godsend for keto because of the fats, but otherwise whole milk is a better option.

On a keto diet heavy cream + unflavored almond milk + whey isolate + stevia = Keto delight icecream.
