I'll definitely try it thanks
I’m gonna guess op does a **** load of cardio....I’ve had that problem myself in the past.
I would get a blender and make your own gainer. jtmass has you covered. Making your own will be much cheaper and more nutritious. There are a lot of ways to add in calories without going out and buying a mass gainer powder. These products are typically filled with lower quality carbs and fillers, so making your own is a smart move.
More likely he either is overestimating how much he eats or is not consistent with his diet.
You may well be right, only reason I guessed cardio was that I’d estimated his AMR around 2,350-2,400 (couple of assumptions in there but shouldn’t be far off). On that basis I thought even if it was being overestimated it would have to be some hefty amount to not create a surplus.....
How many 17year olds do you think can actually track 3200 Cal's constantly day in and out. I'm 5'9 195 currently eating 2500-3000 per day maintaining depending on my day and I work 2 jobs labor and the other involves nonstop walking and I hit the gym 4-5 days a week.
My younger brother was on it for a while when he was back in high school and he gained some decent mass from it. He did mention that it was a bit annoying to drink the recommended serving.
Yeah. like 6 scoops. One of my friend was planning to take it and asked for advice. I have never used a gainer supplement. So, wanted to get some feedback. Thanks man.
Boom, couldn't have said it any better! Drink 2 a day as this will add 700-1000 cals
People underestimate milk!
It's tough as Milk does get a bad wrap but with all the hormones and such they are giving cows, how can it not be. I personally limit my kids intake of cow milk and give them Almond Milk as a substitute.
I tend to agree with this (though almond milk would be a terrible mass gainer). Unless you’re buying organic, rbST-free milk, you’re probably drinking milk that came from a cow that was treated inhumanely both in her living space (barely any room) and her being milked until she produces 6-7 gallons a day. To top it off, while organic milk is better in regards to the actual milk that comes out, farms may still over-milk them to meet demands and increase profits. Plus organic milk as a natural mass gainer would get hella expensive.... all that being said, I still drink milk. I just try to limit my intake and will opt for brands like Fairlife that have a higher protein content with lactase enzymes (even though it’s not organic and grass-fed). I’ve found myself buying more plant based protein over the past year and tend to be enjoying it. I’m probably 50/50 split right now with the protein I own being milk-based and plant-based.
Appreciate the comment and whole-heartedly agree. I guess what I should have stated was using a Milk or milk alternative instead of water to up the overall calories of the shake.
You also have to take in to account that unsweetened almond milk is pretty much water and the sweetened one have sugars. The milk has a ton of vitamins and protein. One might be healthier but one has more nutrients.
How’s the sugar? What types of carbs are in it?
