Switch to whole milk?

[Mouse]

I don't plan on doing Gomad yet as I'm 5' 10" 200lbs, but I do consume a decent amount of skim milk a day. Will switching to whole help me build more muscle or will it just add more fat?

You will build muscle through lifting heavy shit with adequate protein. If you are getting enough you don't need the extra from the milk. My first guess at that weight would be to stay away from the calories in full cream, but I have no idea what your diet is like, nor your training program or goals.

Just a direct lift from here from the mistakes to avoid on GOMAD.

1. Low Fat & Skimmed Milk.
You won’t prevent fat gains by using low fat or skimmed milk. Whole milk gives best results and tastes better.

* Less Saturated Fat. Whole milk is richer in saturated fats which increase your testosterone levels, a muscle building hormone.
* Less Calories. You lose 400 to 1000kcal a day with lower fat milks. You’ll have to eat more to get your calories, hard since milk fills your stomach.
* Won’t Prevent Fat Gains. The high carb content in milk spikes insulin. This is what promotes fat gains, not its fat content.
