Should i take mass gainer or whey protein?

Hi bodybuilding.com! :D first time poster here and was just wondering which type of drink i should take.

Currently 137lbs 5'8 height

Started working out again like 4 months ago and am committed to work out every 2 days. I am adding more calories and protein to my diet and am seeing gains. I currently use whey isolate (isoflex)

Bodybuilding.com/store/all/iso.html (which i did not buy, all given)

now i have ON Serious mass (given as well) ----> remove the 0 as i can not post URL/Links 0ptimumnutrition.com/products/serious-mass-p-241.html

and was just wondering if i should switch to the mass gainer... I do want mass as I am only 137lbs but does the mass gainer work better than the protein? Or, should i switch in-between the two with protein before and after workout and mass gainer before i sleep? Any tips appreciated. Thanks!

Get whey to consume post workout and eat food for mass. Mass gainers ane expensive and unnessasary

Yeah usually mass gainers have like 700 calories but the serving size is like 4 huge scoops. So you just get like 10 servings for $60. Just get whey

instead of wasting all that money on mass gainers, buy real food and just eat alot more.

Not saying it's not a waste, but buying a mass gainer is a lot cheaper that buying the equivalent in food.

137? bulk.

yea i know but food taste alot better for me and i eat alot during the day in school and a shake just dont cut it for me. i buy on sale idk what the equivalent would be to the shake but thats just my preference. obviously everyone has different taste.

hmm i just want to point out that i got the massgainer and protein for free already..... its not the option of being "expensive" when it is free. And yes, i am bulking with 137 that's why i am asking if i should just stick to whey or go to ON serious mass gainer. And yes, my diet is consisting of bulking (higher calories, protein etc.)

I think you are mistaken, friend.

You do the math, friend.

i say keep taking the ON serious mass, i have had great results with it. great for bulking if you have a hard time eating the calories. lots of protein,carbs,vitamins,amino acids etc. it has creatine in it as well. at 137 pounds i would say its perfect for you

when is it best to consume these? i do one for post workout and at night for non workout days. Should i do more?

Buy whey protein, and if you need toget in more calories mix a bunch of peanutbutter into your protein shakes.

buy this weight gainer called mutant mass. It tastes awesome and its actually pretty cheap. a fifteen pound bag costs about 85 bucks. 4 scoops is like 1200 calories with just water. I usually have two shakes with milk throughout the day but only use 1 1/2 to 2 scoops for each one.

Mass gainer is bs imo, stick to whey protein post workout and eat like a pig.

137 lbs is tiny fella.

Go to your local supermarket and buy a big bag of rice, pasta, many many pounds of beef, and lastly a lot of ice cream.

Eat eat and eat all day. Thousands and thousands of calories. No mass gainer balonie.

shw approved

Do both especially if free

ok thanks. I do eat rice like everyday cus im asian LOL

trying to eat t bone steak for breakfast now awwwyeeeee

You should eat food

YOU DON'T SAY.jpg....

real food for the win

okay first off, everyone knows you should eat.. but that wasn't your question so i don't know why everyone is saying that. the best thing to do is take the mass gainer in between meals, for example in between breakfast and lunch before you work out, than after you work out take your whey protein and if you want you can take the mass gainer again after dinner. for the best ad quickest result keep doing this and keep working hard at the gym doing higher weight and lower reps and you should see results

You should do what everyone says, but if you don't workout enough you'll just get fat
