weight gainer vs solid food

[porkher]

what are the proper roles of weight gainer and solid food in a bulking diet?

is it true that solid food is better than weight gainer shakes for adding bulk?

Weight gainer shakes are good for the begginer trying to pack on weight because of the calories and carbs. But, whole food in my opinion is better. Weight gainers can be good though, but when I take them I seem to put on a lot of fat. But, you should still eat a lot of whole foods and take the weightgainer between meals are after a workout.

Real food is ALWAYS better. But when you can't eat the shakes come in handy.

Eat real food when you can. If you go with a weight gainer, make sure it does not have a lot of sugar. Champion Nutrition and Pro Lab have an excellent weight gainer.

shakes are for times when you can't eat real food-real food is always a better choice
