healthy weight gain

[mad dipz]

ummm bullshit....sorry to be blunt.....but its not from the weight gain shakes,,,.....there are 12000x different (and better in my eyes) ways of putting on mass....

only you would know of that many

i must just be retarded.........

Pointing out that jkurz can't put any of those 12,001 ways of getting calories into practice is irrelevant to the truth of what he said. There are far better ways to get calories than commercial weight gainers, most of which are loaded with maltodextrin and relatively poor fat sources (e.g., MCTs).

I agree, but to say that they aren't what has helped me put on mass is simply untrue. It's not rocket science, the more calories, compared to what you expend then the more weight you'll gain. Sure, I'd like to eat alot cleaner, quality foods...but when push comes to shove sometimes it's hard to get time with a demanding job. I know the weight gainers are not the best way to go about it, but they work for gaining weight. If I didn't use a weight gainer then I couldn't eat anything at all at times at work. When trying to gain weight, cheating by whatever means necessary is better than no calories at all.

I curently use MuscleJuice...I would love to use MuscleMilk and it is less of a weight gainer as well, but I just don't have the money. Muscle juice has too much simple carbs and maltodextrin..I'd love to find a weight gainer that had the protein, carbs, and fats of muscle juice but with complex carbohydrates,..I just can't find them anywhere.

Yeah, the true part I was referring to was his general statement that there are better ways to get cals, not his claim that they didn't help in your case.

Have you considered packing a few shaker cups filled with stuff to take with you to work? Then you'd just add water when it's time for the meal, which would give you a lot more flexibility in terms of what's in them and would probably save some money, too. Your main investment would be the protein powder, with the fat and carbs coming from stuff like olive oil and oats (grind up a big batch in a blender). They're dirt cheap and, as a bonus, are better than the types of fat/carbs in most weight gainers.

Yeah, it looks like Cytogainer, except with more carbs really. They sell that stuff in a 6 lbs tub at my gym for 29.99, but the best I can find Cytogainer on the internet is for 24 + shipping. My gym usually charges out the ass for stuff, dunno why I'm not finding better luck on the net.
