Anyone used "Real Gains" by Universal?
I can't find anywhere that tells me how many servings are in a container. If anyone has used it please let me know.

How does it taste?

I've used it before and actually just ordered two of the big tubs from NP.

I tried the chocolate last time and it was not bad at all. And I'm not even a fan of chocolate flavored proteins. The nutrient profile is great too...probably one of the best among the weightgainer formulas.

check 1fast's site for reviews

If you're looking for the number of servings, just do the math (for the large tub):

6.85 lbs = 3 107.10773 grams
1 serving = 155 grams
SO
3 107.10773 grams / 155 grams = 20.0458563 servings

(Approximately )

I am using the chocolate now on occasion and it tasted good to me. I want to try the banana though.

Be Aware of mislabeling the serving size is 3.5scoops = 155g BUT its not true. Use your digital scale to weigh 3.5scoops it will come

up with something like 120g so to meet label claims you need 4.5 scoops.

I wonder if their "scoops" are rounded or flat. If they are taking rounded scoops, they may not be "lying" per say. Or I wonder if they compacted their powder into the scoop? Like, literally pushed it down to fit more in.

Thanks for the update though. I think I was wondering how I was able to get more servings out of it last time...

I guess I will need to be taking 4.5 flat scoops from now on.

I have used it as well. The choc. is very tasty and mixes relatively easily. My only issue is that it doesnt necessarily agree with me if you know what I mean

I just started using the chocolate, taste is tolerable but not what I would call good. I guess I've been spoiled on my Musclemilk.

As far as powders go, it's my fav. I gotta say though, the Watermelon EAA Stack is a pretty strong second...

Vanillia is my flavor of choice. Its a versitile powder that you can mix with just about anything and depending on how creative you are with the variety of flavors out there you can come up with some nice mixes.

An example would be I made a choc. vanillia Real Gains Ice Cream with Raw Milk a while back and it was great

Quick math, 3.81lbs*0.45= 1.73kg/0.155g = 11.17 servings .

Also I've heard great things about the taste (never tried it my self though), and it seems like the consensus is for strawberry lol.
