I know he eats other things during the day, but he drinks lots of milk. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Also, what should his calorie intake be? I read somewhere that it's only about 1,000 calories. Is that normal?

A science class I took in junior high, yes, junior high, I still remember some of those lessons. A science teacher that was absolutely wonderful, asked one day if we were to be stranded on a desert island what would we take with us if it was just one food item. You guessed it! MILK!

You will find that the elderly do not consume a lot of calories mainly because they are not burning up calories by doing exercises, work-outs, yard work, etc.

If your Dad enjoys drinking milk, let him, as long as there are no side-effects. Some times elders will become lactose intolerant, but there is Lactaid milk that tastes the same as regular milk [I use it].
