Also, if you’re sneaky, you can make yourself a couple snacks(nuts, fruits, or PB and banana sammich) and sneak that shit in the bathroom at school. I can’t tell you how much food I stashed in my cargo shorts in high school
That’s not even close to what I said.
I suggested hemp milk or almond milk, but everybody is stuck on the almond milk. Again, there’s no point in talking to people who are a one-sided conversation.
I don’t think anyone here doubts your good intentions, but you have to realize that this thread is in the context of a healthy young man looking to pack on muscular body weight.
Nobody is disparaging vegans or milk alternatives. Stating an obvious fact that they are inferior to whole milk in the context of this young man’s goals is not one-sided.

I think soy milk is a bit closer to regular milk, since it at least has some protein in it. Stuff like rice, hemp or almond milk are essentially vitamin enriched water. This is coming from someone who enjoys vegan foods and tries to eat vegetarian as much as possible…and is building muscle on a low meat diet. So, I’m not bias towards a meat and dairy way of eating. I drink almond milk and almost see it as a vitamin supplement. Nothing wrong with that, per se, given that vegans can get calcium, vitamin b12, etc. from these sources.
Stay as far away from any soy product as you can

I wasn’t trying to suggest that he should be drinking soy milk instead. Just saying in terms of non-dairy mliks, it’s probably the closest in terms of nutrients.
I’m a fan of tempeh though, which is basically a block of fermented soy beans. I make sure to get it organic/non-gmo. It’s a food staple in places like Indonesia and I don’t think it’s lead to any health issues there. It’s the highly processed GMO type soy stuff that scares me and it’s in everything these days.
X2 on all the suggestions for banging down whole food, especially some quality steak once or twice a week.
Would also say get some basic supps like creatine, intra workout bcaa drink and load up on a quality fish oil like flameout
Can’t go wrong with Carnivor Mass Chocolate. 700 calories and 50 grams of beef protein…very tasty also, especially if you throw a couple of bananas in the mix.
GOMAD diet : Gallon of Milk a Day !
2400 calories for about $3.00 !
Just about damn well garaunteed to add 30# in a month.
BUT : this is in Addition to your typical daily eating pattern.
Lift Heavy , Condition Properly and get Mobile.
Considering there are no allergies that are a factor. Hes 17 and im assuming he doesnt have a lot of money. So here are the cheap basics.
Ground beef (about a pound a day)
Eggs (eat a dozen a day)
Milk (whatever you can stomach, but at least a half gallon a day)
Avocados if money permits
Nuts (a few hand fulls a day)
If youre drinking protein powder add olive oil to them
Eat chicken thighs more often than chicken breast
Canned salmon amd tuna
And i would use a food tracker app until you get into a grove.
This ^^^ is pretty solid advice. I’d hold off on a straight protein powder/olive oil combo though, unless you just want everything to run right through you.
