I'm underweight and am trying to gain weight. Since I'm lactose intolerent Ive tried finding alternatives.

On bodybuilding.com almost everyone seem to suggest taking coconut milk.

So I went on a hunt in Giant to look for it. Little did I know it was actually santan.

Opened it up and drank 100ml (out of the 200ml) of it in one shot and I feel super weird. Not only did it taste really really bad, well some may like the taste but uh..

Can you drink from it straight away? My mom said it was used to cook food, like curry. And I was like, oh, isn't this for nasi lemak as well? Whoops.

Then I went searching for what the americans called it "milk", turns out its packaging was completely different, which actually has a bottle opener unlike what is sold here which I need to cut open.

Well. I may have just overdosed it and I feel super weird. 100ml has 20g of fat. And i don't think the typical nasi lemak has even that many. I do get cramps when overeating the nasi lemak.

Turns out there are some people who cannot tolerate santan. I just went through the worst toilet break ever.

I don't know how people manage to take in a litre of it. I was advised to take in 1 tbbs. That's not going to get me anywhere!

@helven yeah i've been taking soy milk, but the calorie can't be compared, it's too little. I would need to dump in litres worth a day. I checked out whey isolate as well, but i saw people advised that the calorie in it is not enough, meaning if I need 1000 calorie from it, i would need to take in 400g of it a day. Viable, but expensive.
