Better than NLarge2?
Check this stuff out:
http://www.1fast400.com/?products_****876
Low GI carbs, less than 1% cholesterol - looks good. Wonder why they went with soy isolate over whey isolate?
Not too cheap at $33 for 5lb...
I try not to use a gainer, relying mostly on solid food for caloric intake - but it really helps when you're really trying to pack it on and you're +3500 cals/day. NLarge has beent he staple - do you think this stuff is better?

Absolutely looks like a better carbohyrdate complex than most of the weightgainers out there. The knock on weightgainer has been exactly what you pointed out.... the ingredient (mainly maltodextrin and dextrose) of the carbohydrates. This looks like a find for someone who is wanting those extra calories without having to (a) cook up something wholesome and/or (b) dont have time to mix some oatmeal, pb or flax, banana, milk, etc with their protein powder for a homemade weightgainer. Looks good

Lately for cals I've been grinding up flax/sesame seeds and throwing them in my shakes, and/or 1-1.5 cups cooked oats, a piece of fruit and a shake. Of course the consistency of the ground seeds would be most people's sticking point.

Oh yeah, and w/all the sesamin hype lately I've decided to try grinding some sesame seeds as well. 3/8 C flax + 1/8 C sesame

Exactly what's wrong w/soy? And was your opinion formed by reading whey industry (read: big dairy) propaganda?
Isoflavones? They're mildly estrogen-like compounds that compete w/actual estrogen for receptors.
BV? Many SPI products, especially if produced by Supro, have added methionine to improve the BV to near-egg standards. - 04-03-2004, 01:36 AM
Why does anybody use nlarge for? Looking at its ingredients, its nothing more than a pwo shake. So does it mean it can't be used any other time of the day.

It doesn't matter if it's concentrate or isolate. That's why our whey doesn't say concentrate or isolate.
The protein (amino acids) are tested. - 04-05-2004, 06:53 PM
