Weight gainers worth it?

[layinback]

i was 170lb when i started back weight training 11 years ago. i ate and ate and ate......could not gain weight. my bud at the supplement store suggested "heavy weight gainer 900" it was low in sugar, high fat from medium chain triglcerides and red meat protein. i took half a serving three times a day and 3 months later i had gained 20lb!!! if you are a hard gainer these type weight gainers are helpful. just stay away from the high sugar formulations. you can make your own:
2 tablespoons of smuckers peanut butter.
1 banana
10 oz 1% milk
2 scoops whey protein (35-40 gm)
blend that shit up.

You did not tell us your age. I will assume you are younger than 25. At your height and weight you do NOT need weight gainer (in fact, nobody needs it). Make up a meal plan that includes 5 meals a day and 1.5x your body weight in protien. Eating this much protien will give you plenty of calories and protien.

At your current stats bro, EAT ANYTHING. Burger King, Pizza, Steaks, Subs, whatever, all bets are off for you, just eat!!!! Then once you gain 30 or 40 lbs readjust your diet accordingly. But at those stats you are naturally skinny and you could eat whatever the fuck you wanted and not get fat. Just remember to stay in the gym and you'll stay fairly lean

Just make sure you are eating a nutrient rich diet. No shake is a replacement for good food. Also make sure that the high calorie shakes you are drinking aren't filled with sugar otherwise you are going to put on fat and not quality muscle.
