An 8-ounce serving of 2-percent milk contains122 calories. To use milk before bed to boost your daily intake by 500 calories and gain 1 pound per week, you'd have to drink between 4 and 5 cups every evening. Boost the calorie content by mixing each glass of milk with nonfat dry milk powder -- a 1/4 cup adds another 109 calories -- and make 1 cup equal to around 230 calories.
If you stick to just one 8-ounce serving of milk fortified with 1/4 cup of dry milk powder, you'll gain a pound every 15 days or so. If you don't add the powder, It'll take you about a month to gain a pound by adding a cup of milk before bed every night, assuming you don't make any other changes to your diet.
you can add nuts to your cup of milk.
