Question about heavy cream

Joined 5 years

After a long break, I'm considering diving back into the gaining lifestyle.

I've been researching, and it sounds like using heavy cream for gaining is a fun idea. However, I'm not sure if "heavy cream" is available in my country.

So, what exactly is heavy cream? The cream we have here is around 36-38% fat. Is that the same as heavy cream, or is there something else that makes heavy cream unique?

Heavy cream (also known as heavy whipping cream) is cream with a high fat content. It doesn't exist in all countries. For example, the UK doesn't have heavy cream, but it does have double cream - which has a slightly higher butterfat content.

Heavy cream has around 36 - 40% butterfat. If your cream is 36 - 38% butterfat, then that is the same thing.

I'm going to try to drink 200 ml of heavy cream every day this week (lactose free because I can't tolerate that well). Do you have any tips? And what can I expect after 1 week?

Had to convert that to freedom units.

You'll probably be fine. 200 ml (less than a cup for us Americans) isn't a crazy amount of heavy cream. You'll probably put on a few pounds. Just be aware that straight heavy cream is kinda gross due to the high fat content. So it's best to cook with it or mix it with something.

What do you think about 2 times a day 200 ml?
