Do you know the percentage of milkfat in whole milk from the store?

Answer 1

For the purposes of this discussion, "butterfat" is the same as "milkfat" (dairy industry usually uses the term butterfat most commonly)

the "whole" milk from the store (commonly labeled "Vitamin D" milk) is not really Whole milk - it's butterfat is either 3.25% or 4.0%, depending on state laws (most states are 3.25%)

True "whole" milk means it has the full 8-10% butterfat, and has not had any cream (fat) removed since it came out of the cow. The "Vitamin D" milk in the stores has actually had part of the cream removed.

The cream is removed for making butter, cream, ice cream, etc etc.

Answer 4

Whole milk is usually homogenized and fortified with vitamin D. For shipment in interstate commerce, it must contain a minimum of 3.25 percent milkfat and 8.25 percent milk solids not fat (MSNF). The milk must also meet minimum milkfat requirements set by the State or municipality where it is sold.
So, as you can see it must have at least 3.25% but can have more, for example Jersey cow's milk will have a higher percentage of milkfat, also regulations can vary from state to state.

You CAN gain muscle and lose fat at the same time and I will show you how. The answer to this question really depends on your goals. For more advanced exercisers or bodybuilders looking to gain large amounts of muscle while losing large amounts of fat, those goals often conflict with one another. Building muscle requires eating more calories than you burn while losing fat requires eating fewer calories than you burn. When losing fat, your muscles aren't getting the fuel they need to grow larger.
