Not quite 6 gallons, eh?
Carb difference in each isn't close. 2 scoops of Endurox (12 ounces) would be the same as 4 cups (32 ounces) of skim milk. Actually 4.166 cups, 33.333 ounces. Ironically, that would make the cost roughly the same, with Endurox slightly cheaper. But then we drink organic milk, so the cost would be a little off that.
If you weigh 200 pounds and use the recommendation that you eat 1g carb/lb body weight after exercise, that would come out to 17.333 cups of milk. Hope you're not lactose intolerant.
