What's the best weight gainer for bulking?
I'm on a budget so give me some feedback on the product as well as your experiences with it. thanx

[smutt]

i am using a product called mus-l blast 2000. Its 57.00$ canadian for 10lbs of the stuff. I use 12 scoops of it a day and it lasts just over 2 weeks.12 scoops a day is around 2400calories. Use this with a can a tuna a day 2scoops of nitro tech 6eggs and what ever i have for supper and your bulking smutt style.

Cheap? Weight gainer? Make like me - eat a lot of oatmeal and a lot of pasta. Tastes good and high in carbs - a fair bit of protein to be found too. You said cheap, but as for those supplements, god knows...
With food you can achieve anything.

Sugar, bannanas, nestle's quick, honey, peanut butter, just to name a few.
Go up to the search option on the top right hand of the screen and look for protein shake or weight gainer recipes.
There's some awesome info on some of them.

Ive tried Pro Mass by that Dorian Yates approved company and it seemed ok and was fairly cheap.

And smutt you say you have 12 scoops of mus-l blast 2000 a day, a tin of tuna, some nitro tech, 6 eggs and a bit of supper. That seems crazy to me!!! Do you eat virtually no real food just live on supplements or what???????

thats what it sounded like. i mean 12 scoops how much protien do you need.

[Fit For Life]

Here is mine.

16oz of Whole Milk
3Tbsp of Malted Milk
3 scoops Carb Powder
3 Scoops Whey from Protein Factory 60g protein
1C banana chunk breyers ice cream.

Blend it, and then put it in a half gallon milk jug (fills half) and then drink it during the day. Not too pricy except the ice cream.

Food. Eat tuna for protein. You can get it for around $.49 a can. Pasta is cheap too.

I would be careful when choosing a weight gainer. Some of them have pretty pooer quality ingredients and are full of sugar which means you'll probably end up putting on fat. When it comes to bulking up, a bit of fat is inevitable, but if the scales are going up and your weights aren't it's likely that you're putting on mostly fat. Not onloy that but weight gainer (at least the good ones) tend to be very expensive. If you want to put on mass, you need to eat a lot of the right things. Eating 5-6 larger meals (if your bulking up) a day can be pretty taskworthy. Try blending a few things in with your post workout shake and repeat again as a meal. I regularly blend the following:

-1 scoop chocolate whey protein
-400ml skimmed milk
-75g oats
-35g peanut butter
-1 bananna

This tastes great and works out incredibly cheap. At my local supermarket a kg of oats costs around ?1 and a 500g jar of peanut butter can be picked up for around 60p, banannas as most people know are pretty cheap too. In terms of nutrition offers the following: 50-55g protein, 20-25g fat (around 90% of which are from the peanut butter and the rest from the oats) 100-120g carbohydrates (coming from the oats, milk, peanut butter and bannana) and at a rough estimate this totals anywhere up to 900 calories. By making your own weight gainers you know exactly what's going and that way if you want to add anything extra like glutamine or specific amino acids or you want to change something e.g. maltodextrin instead of oats then you can. Anyway, two of these a day is an extra 1800 healthy calories on top of your regular diet which is bound to make a difference. If you wanted more calories/protein/carbs/fat you can just increase the amount of ingredients you use or try adding in natural yoghurts and egg whites.

But is it a smart choice to go as far as gaining lean muscle mass when trying to cut down fat intake as little as possible, but still managing to get in hearty meals, and protein 3 times a day?

I'm currently using Iso Mass Xtreme Gainer by Ultimate Nutrition. Cost me $50 at GNC: 30 servings, 65 grams of protein/serving, 650 calories per, and has other vital ingredients such as creatine, fish oils, and aminos. The only thing is taste isn't the greatest. Best weight gainer that I found when looking at saving money though becoz of the servings per tub/cals per serving.

Oh and when you mix it with milk, you get 940 calories per serving. It's working pretty good so far, minimal fat gain if any.
