wuts a good mass gainer?

still nowhere near tha amount of calories tho.some people need weight gainers,some people dont.most weight gainers usually average 700+ calories per shake.add peanut butter is good for extra protien but doesnt do much for all tha extra calories somebody may want or need

The weight gainer he was talking about, Up Your Mass, has 50g of carbs and 50g of protein. @ scoops of most whey products and a 1/2 cup of oats covers that.

Almost all mass gainers have 50g of protein per serving. The difference between them is their carbohydrate content. Most of them between 50-100g with a couple going over that.

1/2 cup of oats is 50g of carbs. Add a cup of 2% milk and some fruit and you're at the level of the majority of mass gainers.

im talkin about calories,not carbs.calories in up your mass is 500 witout milk,which is decent.heavier calorie products out there.i took tha gnc mass gainer and that helped me out alot.it had 1500 calories

[pic] What macronutrient do you think the calories come from?

[pic]and 50 carbs would still equal out to well less than 700 calories

Still didn't answer the question.

Also, most weight gainers have < 700 calories.

tha point was mass gainers arent just strictly carb loaded.granted they arent tha healthiest thing but they can definitely be useful to some people.u speak from a perspective of somebody wit experience,everybody isnt at your level.it took me a few years before i started makin my own shakes so everybody has to start somewhere

i just copped this

now im lookin to cop a mass gainer from bodybuilding.com

mutant mass. I was skinny as !! and gained quite a bit of weight and muscle. People were alaways telling me "holy ish, you gained some weight on your bones, u look good, I wanna suck yo d...." and so on and so forth.

FOOD!!! Don't be falling victim to all these supplements. especially the ones the GNC people tell you you need. Just man up and eat some damn food. Them "mass gainers" are usually well overpriced for no reason. There is no reason you can't eat the amount of calories you need through food. Since I've started working out about 4yrs ago I've put on 65lbs, most of which is muscle. Went from 120lbs to 160lbs in about 1 yr.

Way back when i was real small I was desperate to gain weight, had gotten my first job and was anxious to solve this problem. Went to my local GNC and told them I wanted to gain weight. So there is a lady there, she calls her manager on the phone and explains to him that i'm a male that wants to gain weight. He's on speaker phone the entire time saying "He needs some vitamins with out iron, he'll put on lots of weight and get a mass gainer" I fell victim to that !!, needless to say i didn't gain nothing. At that time i wasn't a nurse yet and was pretty naive when it came to taking advice.

All I'm trying to say is, you should focus on eating first then maybe later use a "mass gainer".

Hope this helps you. Sorry for the rant...

what was ur diet to gain that 40 pounds ?

and on ur work outs did u mostly focus on compound stuff?

You weren't sold false information, you !!ed up yourself by not doing your own research. Mass gainers are good for additional calories, but don't for one second think it's a food replacement.

Eat food and use the mass gainer as a drink on the side. I'll be doing this come winter time, the come February I'll cut again.

how many shakes should i take a day
