When you get to my age and 40 is looming not too far down the road, healthy organs > bigger muscles. I'm probably going to cut out the whey and just stick to drinking skim milk on my workout evenings.

True that.

I spend summers beating the shit out of my body with wakeboarding... adding weight is an absolute killer for me.
I would weight train going in to the season, hitting a high weight mark in 2011 of about 182.
Nowadays I maintain 170 or lower... If I go above that I back may calories to 2k a day and do no more than 50 grams of protein.
I am hoping to limp my knees along for another decade.

Drink whole milk. Whey better for u. Pardon the pun, but milkfat has natural offsets for the fat content and while milk is better than those protein workout elixurs. Take all this with a grain of salt because i'm one of those guys that think the american view on dietary fat is Special person. Americans consume bad fat, but fat is not bad if you source it properly and you have good genetics for it. cardiologists hate cholesterol but neurologists are like whaaaaa?

Sorry for getting off topic. Google what i said bout whole milk doe.

It's not necessarily about genetics. Unsaturated fat and other EFA's are very healthy for you. In fact, they will help burn body fat and extra cholesterol as energy. A good example is avocados. They are very high in fat but one of the better foods you can eat, and delicious

In all my years, I've never eaten an avocado. Have to do that before I die. Maybe have some chocolate milk with it. Whole milk, of course.

You should(actually, everyone should) find a farm near you that sells raw milk.

Avocados are one of God's perfect fruits. Delicious healthy fat. I eat at least three a week. Didnt like the taste at first, so i spooned it out and dosed with hot sauce or sprinkled salt on it. avocados are the jam. I feed my soon to be one year old a whole avocado every other day. He loves it and its far better and easier than baby food.

Totally. It aint legal, and you need to trust the source, but that is the shiz.

Oh, I'm not afraid to do it raw. Just never had the opportunity. My brothers bro-in-law has it delivered once a month but the dummy never has any around the few times I see him. Where we live, I know of nowhere to get it. Besides, my wife does the shopping and says I don't need that shit.

I have one son that won't eat damn near anything and a younger one who will eat anything you put in front of him. What do these things taste like?

Eat one. I know from previous posts you have a problem eater, and that would drive me nuts. Get to the heart of his disorder, what makes him so finicky but avocados are great non-meat fat sources. if he likes pbnj, try guacemole sandwiches?

We'll give it a try to be sure.

If he likes it, start grinding up turkey or rabbit into it to get his protein up... Not trolling at all.

And now that you mention it, it does drive me fucking nuts. And it gets worse. Have 2 sons as I mentioned and you know they're completely opposite with their eating habits. Also have 2 girls, the older one eats normal and the younger one is almost exactly the same as my older son. She'll eat more junk though which obviously isn't a good thing. His staples are chicken nuggets and pizza. Hers are chicken nuggets and pasta. They'll both eat eggs so I'll make that whenever they ask but neither want anything to do with any other meats or PB & J. They'll eat some fruits and those stupid kiddie yogurts but really extremely finicky. Frustrates me to no end. I blame my wife for this! The only thing all 4 have in common is they never drink soda and 90% of the time it's either milk or water as their drink.

I hate the taste of whole regular milk, but I could probably drink it as chocolate milk no problem.

Is chocolate milk in this category?

Yeah that sucks

Me and my wife both had siblings that were problem eaters, she even has a brother with an eating disorder. We just made sure that our children eat whatever we eat and deal with it and it worked for us. I don't really have any advice but what would your kids do if the only thing you had to feed them was some antelope you killed and some root vegetables your wife dug up? That would be ground zero. They'd come around in a matter of days. (good job on the soda though, that's awesome)

Maybe just create a ground zero, make your own dietary sacrifices and go from there? That's all i've got. I guess that's what i would do if I were in your situation, but I'm kind of a freak about food.

I've thought of just making good stuff available but really too far gone now. Should have been giving him avocados when he was 1 year old. Who knew? Time goes so fast but, yeah, I think we fucked up early on with both of them. Hope they grow out of it now. Funny thing is while they both like chicken nuggets, neither will touch a breast, wing, leg or thigh. I've gotten my son to try stuff before but he gags on it and throws it up. My little girl just cries til you stop trying to get her to try something. She cries a lot. It's ok though, she's a very happy crybaby. Turns it on and off like nothing. Manipulative little stinker.

Oh no, i wasn't trying to be condescending at all. If your babies are happy that's great. Who knows what makes kids think what good food is? I don't even know what's gonna happen when my kids go spend a night at a friends house. But you do have control over what people eat in your house, and can create a plan to buy, cook and eat what you want eaten. Maybe make the most immediate shit less available? IDK, maybe I'm just Special person about food like liberals are about Obama...

I didn't take anything in a bad way. I seriously know we fucked up early on with both of them regarding their eating habits. I've always been more than willing to take a hard line and wait for them to eat what's given to them without giving in but my wife is way too soft for that. Just have to find a workaround I guess.
