Favorite weight gainer??? Most bang for your buck?

[JoeySon]

Was wondering what everybody uses as a weight gainer? I've compared every one I've come across as far as protein/carb content along with ingredients and the price per serving and I can't seem to find one that beats Universal's "Real Gains" and it's become a staple in my supplement stack...what do y'all use???

If you must get one or cant make your own find one with no or the least amount of Maltodextrin. Needtobuildmuscle just released one and i think its malto free.

 

[JoeySon]

I understand the debate on malt but it's in just about everything we eat one way or another..I was just wondering what everybody's fav pre-made shake was

 

[demolition]

Ive used ON brand and it was great i thought.

 

[hvactech]

strawberry real gains is delicious! ive used cytogainer for awhile until i started making my owm...

 

[JoeySon]

I've considered making my own but with everything priced out it seemed more expensive than a premade one...what does your recipe look like? Cost?

2 cups of 2% milk 1 banana 1 packet of oatmeal 1 tbs of natty peanut butter 1 scoop of protein.....it's like 1000 cals not sure the price I mean all those items are pretty cheap and you know what's going into your shake

 

[hvactech]

trust me its cheaper....mine is the following
3 scoops whey
40 grams oats
2 tbl natty pb
strawberry island oasis puree

or....
3 scoops whey
plain greek yogurt
real fruit
honey
20 grams oats

or real simple...

whey
milk
strawberry nesquick
olive oil

marketed weight gainers are never cost friendly.....most things the average person already has in the kitchen, there no wrong way to make one

 

[JoeySon]

Well I'm def open to making my own it just seems expensive and I go to school n go to work so I'm constantly on the move..I'd have to find one easily transportable

 

[R1balla]

make your own, or get true mass. like 37 bucks

If you must get one or cant make your own find one with no or the least amount of Maltodextrin. Needtobuildmuscle just released one and i think its malto free.

Whats wrong with maltodextrin?
I was using it post workout in my shake, i just changed to dextrose. I could see malto/dextrose making you fat if you had it constantly throughout the day. I figure Post workout is good though unless there is an issue im unaware of.

Real mass Probiotic series looks to have an excellent profile. Extremely expensive though at around $4.24 a serving!. Just make your own, sooooo much cheaper.

 

[hugry4more]

Up ur mass 28 bucks for 22 servings I believe

Yea I almost tried up your mass but stayed away from it due to it's main protein source coming from soy I believe..I know there's many opinions on this but I mostly avoid soy

Soy is a good protein ..honestly prob better for ur health long term. Don't buy into those studies saying it raises estrogen buncha BS..

I def think it's good in certain amounts but I avoid having large qualities in my diet

Ive used Max's supersize in the past, Found that to be alright.

 

[plaemann]

Making your own shakes is the cheapest and the best, because you control what goes in.
You can do this:
Take 3 cups of milk, 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder, 3 tps. of oats, 1 banana, put that all in the blender, then drink. About 1000 calories.
Hope this helped.

I've been using Quickmass Loaded for months and I love it. Great profile, amazing taste for all 3 flavors, and it's decently priced. 46 bucks for around 22 servings depending how many scoops you use per shake. I realize theirs cheaper gainers out there but I've tried the majority and this is the most bang for your buck.

 

[RHaddad]

Universal- Real gains is defiantly the best I have ever used. Strawberry is delicious too. If yo-u look around online and find a good deal its worth it

 

[kBrown]

Muscle Juice is a great bang for you buck.
Tastes like crap...but you aren't drinking it for the flavor.

 

[JJames]

Amplified MASS XXX cookies and creme flavor is bomb especially when made with milk...

 

[tilldeath]

blah blah blah make your own, that wasn't the question. I like real gains from universal best.

commercial weight gainers make you poo like crazy....gomad diet works well and is cheap, Gallon of Milk a Day- 2200 cals extra every day
