I know, I know. The commonly held view on “weight-gainers” on this site is that they are crap. This specific weight gainer however: MHP up your MASS, has only 1 gram of sugar! I know I could try to eat 5,000 caleries a day, but I’d damn kill myself. It is not easy!!! What does everyone think about this specific weight gainer?
Thanks,
It’s definitely one of the better ingredients lists I’ve seen on a weight gainer but it still isn’t that great. Why not just make your own with all natural ingredients? You can easily make 1,000 calorie shakes with a couple bananas, protein powder, peanut butter, oatmeal, berries, etc.
Randman, I was thinking that about the ingredients list too (although there’s just way too much stuff), until I ran into the part where soy protein is the first listed protein.

Is the fact that there’s soy protein as the first ingrediant that bad? Should that info. alone stop me from buying the weight gainer? (and yes, I’ve read the article on soy, and I realize it’s not great, but if I’m only having one serving per day, it can’t hurt me can it? Thanks
Again, why not make your own? Do you think there is something special about these mass gainers that make you huuuuge? No weight gainer shake will even come close to what you could easily and much more cheaply make on your own. Milk, bananas, oatmeal, berries, high quality protein powder, cottage cheese, plain yogurt, ice, blend, drink, be huge.

Randman, he obviously doesn’t want to hear the correct answer.
Some people prefer the response they’d LIKE to hear instead of the truth.

…or maybe, just maybe I will ne living next year in an 8 person suit, with out a kitchen. This means that I will not have the means to make the shake like I do right now. (I won’t have a blender, and dishwasher to clean the blender [which i wont be having anyway], any food products, etc.) Because of this, I am looking for a replacement.
