What is a good weight gainer that you guys like, or have had success with?
Thanks

2

food? in a blender

I’ve heard the most weight gainers use a lot of sugar to get the calories up.

I think 2 scoops of regular protein powder in milk with peanut butter and a banana must be about 700 calories or more and be ‘heartier’.

That’s basically it. Most of the weight gainers you find in stores are a combination of some protein + lots of generic carbohydrate/fat sources. Making a weight gainer yourself is damn easy. Here’s an example (and there are basically endless possibilities):

2 Scoops protein powder (200 calories, ~45g of protein)
2 cups of 2% milk (240 calories, 16g protein)
2 medium bananas (210 calories, 2g protein)
3 TBSP Peanut Butter ( ~300 calories, 12g of protein)
Crushed ice

= 900 calories, ~ 75g of protein

I knew someone would say that. Ive actually been making my own home made shake with 1000 Calories, but its just getting to be a pain, and I would like something more convenient. In case there’s any confusion, I’m obviously talking about powdered weight gainer supplements.

I swear I posted here this morning!

Anyway, I’d say a shake made with milk, 2 scoops of quality protein powder, some peanut butter and a banana must be about 800 calories. Have one in the morning and one at night. I think that would be ‘heartier’ than a weight gainer which has too much sugar in it.

Peanut butter+milk+oats

Goin of the RMP thread u posted i don’t think any weight gainer works for you. I don’t think you in any position to advice people about gaining weight!

I think weight gainers are good for a very short period if you’re having a hard time getting calories in. But as soon as your body gets “adjusted” to getting the extra calories you should switch to just eating food OR as mentioned earlier to a milk/protein mix or homemade shake.

Main reason being a lot of the calories come from simple sugars, and you WILL put on fat with them. An inexpensive one is ON’s Serious Mass, like 12 lbs for $45. But as I said, you shouldn’t do it for long, it will put on the unwanted fat around the belly area. Just personal experience.

Food works well.

I havent shopped at GNC in a couple of years but they have a weight gainer called Mass XXX. It was the only one I kept taking. Might want to look into it.

14

its_Sid, ur 140lbs no weight gainer works for you obviously. Start givin advice when ur 200+.

youre 140lbs

16

2 eggs
2 scoops of whey
1/2 cup of oats
frozen berries
table spoon of peanut butter
tablespoon of olive oil
10oz whole milk
ice
chocolate syrup if youre really skinny

17

So combining 4 ingredients into a blender is such a massive inconvenience for you that you MUST find a powder that will cost 80 dollars for about 10 servings and will be filled with mostly sugar and other crap carbs?

Here if you don’t want to blend-
Water
Protein Powder
Quick Oats
Olive Oil

You can easily adjust each ingredient to meet the P/C/F you are looking for.

I like how I posted twice (board problem!) and I gave two different calorie estimates. OMG is my face red!!!

I was 125 when I started taking weight gainer and eating significantly more about two and a half months ago so I feel it worked for me…got me up to 140. But as I said I ate more and drank about a litre of milk per day.
