For weight gaining, look for one with high calories. Dymatize has one with 1000+ calories per shake I believe. I can't think of the other one at the moment.

Most guys on here, including myself, add a couple tbsp olive oil and some oats to our regular protein shakes to make it high calorie instead of buying a mass gainer.

Most high calorie "mass gainer" supplements are loaded with maltodextrin and cheap carbs. My recommendation would be to buy a quality whey protein powder and add in your own carbs and fats. You can easily make your own 1000+ calorie shake by adding in oats, milk, peanut butter, and fruit with whey protein. It'll taste better and be cheaper in the long run

This is what id recommend. Select protein, modern protein and a host of others are good options. Myprotein for a cheaper but not as tasty (IMO) option. Add in extras for your own blend of fat: carb ratio.

Iforce Mass Gainz is a good option if youre in a pinch

There are tons of mass gainers out there but it will really depend on your overall diet and how many calories you're taking in each day. But for your case i would just look at the labels and find one with lots of calories in it if you're looking to put on some size.

MyProtein Impact Whey is so cheap ($0.30 a serving, 200 servings, after coupon codes) that I drink three a day. Mixed with milk, I get about ~980 calories and ~100g of protein

The best way is to build your own with a protein you like. Add olive or coconut oil, oats, bananas or peanut butter to up calorie content. You have better control over content that way.

If you want a mass gainer, make your own. Use protein powder, milk, oatmeal, fruit, nut butters, etc. It is more cost effective and you can control the macros.

In terms of overall protein powder, if you stick with a reputable company, different powders won't make a difference. It will come down to your diet and if you're eating in a surplus or not.

Good recommendations in here. Make your own with high-quality protein supps like Select/Modern-Protein. One I'm currently loving is 2 scoops Modern Protein Vanilla + a frozen banana + milk, cinnamon, dash of nutmeg + 2tbsp natty pb. If you want to up the cals, add some ice cream.

Iforce Mass Gainz is a good option if youre in a pinch
Yea. That one surprised me. A weight gainer with genuinely healthy carb sources. If someone absolutely needed a pre-made product, that would be my choice.
