Skinny? find it hard to eat over 1700 calories (of solid foods) duuuh, heard of full fat milk?

me = hardgainer, tried to pig myself silly with foods, just couldn't meet the calorie intake I needed.

With the help of full fat milk, I drink a gallon a day, + eat well. I consume about 4000 / 5000 calories a day this way.

I've gone from skinny to an average build, with a good workout routine, I have pectorials, abs, biceps etc.

Need to work harder on my workouts though, but milk ftw!
