Weight Gainer that won't get you too fat...?

[292831]

I know it seems stupid...but is there a weight gainer that will help build mass without too much fat?

I know a weight gainer will give you fat...but I plan on putting on some size and still do cardio 2-3 times a week...just trying to get bigger without getting too fat.

universal nutrition real gains

OP, you clearly do not understand the basics of nutrition. I suggest that you get out of the supplement forum and read the stickies in the nutrition forum.

ANY FOOD and ANY protein powder that has calories can make you fat. It all depends on whether you are in a caloric excess at the end of the day or not.

i know the title of the threads an oxymoron...hope you guys understand what i mean

nono i understand that...perhaps a weight gainer with a good ratio of calories to low grams of fat and low sugar?

fat and sugar will not make you fat. It is the overall caloric intake of a mass gainer that may make you fat. Maybe you just want a play whey powder with no added carbs?

What is your daily maintenance level of calories?

If you cannot answer that question, then you have no business taking a mass gainer.

Look for an MRP or make your own from whey or a blend

fat and sugar won't make you fat?!? how do you figure that?

I take in about 3000 calories a day and I want a weight gainer first thing in the AM

Look for one with high doses of protein, with low sugar and medium calories. Muscle Milk, Monster Milk, Cytogainer. Cytogainer is really the only one listed as a weight gainer, but they will all work.

^^^ That demonstrates that you have a lot to learn about basic nutrition. Anything can make you fat. Anything. Even protein. Yes, that means even eating cottage cheese before bed can make you fat.

Do yourself a favor and accept my suggestion to read the nutrition stickies.

if you don't want to suggest some supps then leave the thread...i don't need a lecture

He is helping you out.

There is no magic pill that will solve your problems. Caloric surplus is what will make you gain weight, so there is no such thing as a magic supplement that will just paste muscle on your body.

[sagehen91]

Skip the mass gainer(which is filled with dextrose and simple sugars anyway) and eat ice cream/favorite foods.

This guy is right. If you eat 10k calories of lettuce, you will get fat. I suggested low sugar because when they add high amounts of sugar for taste, the calories tend to skyrocket.

Nobody offers humility and gratitude in pill or powder.

I think lettuce is one of those green veggies that burn more calories through digestion than they contain. But, I understand what you are saying lol.

Scivation just released a Mass gainer that has a good and solid profile on top of very good macros.

Some highlights:

High-quality milk protein isolate sourced from grade-A skim milk that has undergone a low heat process to maintain protein purity. This is some of the highest quality milk protein on the market

• Low-glycemic, insulin-stabilizing carbs, predominantly from organic brown rice and organic fractionated rice oligodextrins, which also provide a plethora of health benefits

• A blend of healthy fatty acids derived from such sources as fish oil, sunflower oil, golden flax seed oil, and coconut oil, which include Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) and medium-chain triglycerides but contain only two grams of saturated fat per serving

• 500 mg of betaine anhydrous

The macros are around 8-9g of fat, 45g of carbs, and 32g of protein. What is great is if you are looking for a leaner MRP you could dose the gainer in half and then add in a scoop of protein to knock down some carbs and fat to keep the protein elevated. Also you can always add your own things such as mixing in milk, adding Peanut butter, or throwing some oatmeal in there as well to boost your intake.

Something to consider!
Price is depending on bb.com as they are getting it in their facility very soon it has shipped to them! So when they put it up it will be THEIR price.

The creatine is most likely being pulled from the product due to getting adequate creatine from NOVEM which is stacked with xtend, this will be used when a whole food meal is not possible or in a pinch for a quick shake.

mhp up your mass taste grate and all carbs are real complex not malto nothing but oats and barley

There is no such thing as a negative calorie food.

OP, listen to snorkelman. You may not like it, but he's right.

[JoeCannonMSCSCS]

most weight gainers are just a lot of calories. since gaining weight is about calories, keep tabs on your weight (and body fat if you can) while taking it. are your clothes tighter? that will be the best way to know

lol typical lazy person who can't even read a couple recommended threads, and will undoubtedly end up wasting tons of money on supplements because you have no idea how basic nutrition works.

[Jeffbelittle]

OP you could eat a Big Mac for lunch and ice cream for dinner and LOSE WEIGHT

Bsn true mass is my favorite weight gainer. Tastes great and has the perfect ratio's of macros most people are looking for.

Generally speaking, if your calorie intake throughout the rest of teh day is right on track to count the weight gainer along with it, then you won't necessarily gain much fat. Though it is rather difficult to gain large amounts of muscle without at least putting on SOME fat (assuming you aren't pinning)

If you're looking for a product that will provide the benefits of a weight gainer in terms of recovery post workout, as well as being super convenient because it comes in packets that you can literally take along with you anywhere - check out ErgoGenix Aftermath. Its very affordable and incredibly convenient! http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/er...fter-math.html

If you're interested in trying before you buy, there are also free samples you can throw in with your next order! Try out the blue rasp. its delicious!

currently taking UP your MASS by MHP. Pretty good.
I really want to try monster mass for my last month of bulking.

Best advice in the thread ^^^^

if you don't want to suggest some supps then leave the thread...i don't need a lecture

You sir have missed the point train. baffled by this response

[xR1pp3Rx]

after following the good advice in this thread, you can add a quality 400 calories pershake using VPX stealth.. it tastes pretty good and mixes well. also...its pretty afordable.

imo it has a nice profile for a "gainer" .

[292831]

ended up picking up Monster Mass...the nutritional value seemed very very good
