Use the protein that you probably have now and blend it with milk, peanut butter and oatmeal. It's the same thing almost expect cheaper and better tailored to your needs.

^^This.

If you really want to, you can pour in a 1/2 cup of sugar too. Because that's what you're paying for in most gainers. Don't let the label fool you. Maltodextrin is sugar.

The best option is to just eat more whole foods. You may find that you have to force yourself to eat when not hungry on occasion. Mass gainers are convenient though. I use a half serving of our MassTech on occasion but add 1-2 scoops of similar flavored whey protein. I prefer those type of macros a lot better.

This is the best way to go about it! Easier to fit your needed macros this way.

This, plus there it gives one the option to have control over all the tastes and textures.

Haven't thought about making my own, i'll give it a try, thanks a lot guys!

Nothing wrong with using a gainer at your size and age, I did the same thing and I feel I benefited greatly from it. I just really enjoyed the convenience of a "shake". And for me it was much easier to drink my calories then eat them.

Good list so far, also check out iForce's Mass Gainz. The ingredient profile is very impressive. Very simple and too the point. No fillers and no junk you don't need.

OP, I'd recommend doing this. It will taste a lot better (in my opinion) and will be a lot cheaper $$$.

Have you looked at the amount of calories/macros that you require daily?

This ^^ the gainers can be very convenient for work, travelling and busy schedules..

iForce's Mass Gainz is a great product and great profile.

Nutrabolics Isogainer and BB.com Ultimate Mass are two other great gainers with solid profiles and carb/fat sources..not just whey&sugar (as you get with most gainers)

You can make your own if you have the time.

I honestly would rather just make my own or just eat more real food...weight gainers make me feel extremely bloated and they actually prevent me from eating more. They make you feel so full

[XCriticalBenchX]

My two favorite mass gainers are MHP Up your mass and iForce Mass Gainz.. Both utilize whole foods as carb sources which is what you need imo.
