It costs 75$ (Canadian !) for 10 pds. Is this a good price for a weight gainer? How long will it take me to run out if I take 3 shakes/day?

I use Prolab N-Large 2 weight gainer. Plus it seems to be a lot cheaper than the one you have posted. I get mine thru DPS Nutrition, 10lbs for 33.95. Comes in Vanilla, Chocolate, and Wild Berry, Yumm. Awesome flavor.

I have read good things about this weight gainer on some of the threads on here. You might want to do a search and check it out.

10 lbs = 20 servings?!!! That's half a pound of powder per serving if I'm reading that right! If the 10 lb size truely is only 20 servings, you'd run out in about 6-7 days. I can't say for sure since this is Canadian dollars, but that sounds really expensive too.

I've heard alot of people on this board and elsewhere say NLarge2 is a really good weight gainer.

Weight Gainers Aren't My First Choice

The idea behind a weight gainer is obviously to pack on weight. Think about it. 1 pound of fat has 3500 calories and 1 pound of muscle has 600 calories. I think the quality weight gainers are crap. Most if not all of them have too much carbs. Too many carbs + fat= fat gain. You don't need 600-1200 calories coming from a weight gainer. You can easily up your calories by eating better foods, or spending your money on a better protein powder. Protein is what builds muscle, not carbs. Carbs do provide fuel for intense workouts. N-Large2 is probably one of the best gainers I've seen, because it's protein content is high and it's carb content is lower than most gainers. If you must use a weight gainer, go with N-Large2. Just gave you my 2 cents. Later

If you want a cheap weight gainer for calories only, then try the Weider Mega Mass. I know it is Weider, but the stuff is cheap, easy to drink, and has enough calories to do the job if you have a fast metabolism.

 

[Weapon X]

NLarge2 tastes great, mixes easily in water, and isn't all thick like many weight gainers. Get the Vanilla and add flavourings of your own deciding.

hey spend your money on some quality protein powders the weight gainers suck, to many garbage calories. You want more carbs have a bowl of brown rice or a sweet potatoe

Best Gainer

Try MyoMax Gain, by Scitec it's got:

52g protein
60 carbs
4g sugar
4g Creapure Creatine
9g glutamine
13g Bcaa's.

It's the best I've seen in a awhile. The sugar content does it for me, I don't like the gainers with tons of sugar!

Another good one is CytoSport's Cytogainer...it too is low in sugar.
