Weight Gainer

I'm almost done my 10lbs bucket of weight gainer and can't wait to finish it. I think most of them contain way too much useless sugar. Makes me crash big time after my shake. I'll be making my own weight gainer from now on using a good quality whey powder and I'll add bananas, natural peanut butter, yogurts etc.

What are your opinions on weight gainers?I'm 200 pounds and not looking to put on weight.I get all the proteins and carbs i need.Just wondering if im not getting all the caloric intake i need to put on mass,would a weight gainer help?

You contradicted your self. If you want to grow increase your protein & carbs. This will increase your calories. If you have a hard time getting enough real food than supplement with shakes. I prefer to add fruit to my regular shakes rather than get the gainers.:lift

I have used weight gainer before. I work construction and im physical alllllllll day. My boss allows one break. So the only answer i could think of was to carry around a jug of weight gainer with me.. 1200 calories that i will suck down throughout the day. Not all at once..but slowly. It helped..but i didnt use it as meal or any replacement for a meal. just as a filler in between to keep the calories up.

Just have to watch out.. alot of the weight gainers have alot of sugar in them.

I didnt care to much about the sugar as i would burn more calories i could eat all day.

Advice: dont work construction.. if you do..dont be on the bottom.. be someone who is in charge haha.

I worked it out now with my boss to be able to stop and eat for 5 mins every 2.5 hours throughout the day.

so its all good now and i dont need the weight gainer anymore.

try TRUE-MASS by BSN..this one is one of the best I have found.630kcals per serving.76 grms carbs.46 grams protien with 14 grams of sugar.Very easy to mix and easy on the digestive system.Has 6 different types of protien for sustained release and digestion.I have tried them all and this one is by far the best I have tried.

If you are getting all the protein and carbs you need then why do you need a weight gainer? If you're not looking to put on any weight then why do you need a weight gainer? If you're right where you want to be then just keep doing what you're doing. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

I guess i worded it a little wrong.I know i will put on weight with more mass,but im trying to avoid putting on fat if i do take a weight gainer.Yea your also right again storm, i will increase my protein and carbs and as you said i do have a hard time getting enough real food.

Zepp,
Maybe you could rephrase?

Oh I C you did,
Well I dont know how to delete this.
Good luck.

many years ago, this is the concoction I used to make... it worked wonders for me:
