What weight gainer would be best for a 16 year old?

[iElijah]

I'll be 16 soon and need to put on serious weight for football. Before anyone says anything I eat as much as I can my mom just doesn't buy the right foods I can't even remember the last time she's cooked because she works 12+ hours a day and doesn't bring home meats I can cook myself. I'm dedicated and strong but I need more weight cuz I'll be an outside linebacker. I'm thinking of getting Russian Bear 5000 because it has a alot of calories but I'm not sure, also give me a take on creatine. I am 5'10 150lbs.

If you can buy supplements you can buy food. Eat at a caloric surplus over your TDEE and you will gain weight.

[brroyal]

as Strong Republican stated. Eat whole foods. Buy bulk nuts and eat that, specially almonds and walnuts. They are packed with good fats, and minerals. 1 cup of walnuts is 800 calories, weight gainers are just bulk sugar, they add some other things to make you feel better about it but the majority of calories is sugar. You'll put on weight but it won't be functional weight.

[7THSIN]

eat proper food, steal peoples lunch, beg for scraps, steal money and buy real eats

[xStevenx]

steak and taters

You are a minor, and no body should recommend any supplements to you

all you need to get bigger is more food.

[Phili31215]

What did big, strong, men use to fuel their bodies 200 years ago?Supplements? No, food.

[Aussieguy32]

Eat food OP

[Platapus94]

Mass gainers should only be for convenience, if you don't have time to eat at work for example. Buy food first, and don't buy Russian bear, it's expensive and full of sugar. Buy some oats, brown rice, pasta etc. along with a load of chicken breast and steaks and eat away! Good luck

Milk, steaks and squats.... thats all a 16 year old needs

About the smartest thing a republican has ever said

I dont have steaks, but I really dont have the leisure to be buy nuts and steaks when the weight gainer I mentioned is 5,000 calories costing 35$ I'm sure my mom will buy some meats and stuff but for right now I just need info on gainers because I don't see a college linebacker or even a safety at 150lbs and my upcoming season will be my Junior year of high school.

The world needs chess players and janitors too....

Seriously OP, eat.

[Ninetysix]

Guess how many servings in that $35?

3 ..just eat.

[Smoker145]

Hamburger helper. Eat the whole thing. It's cheap, delicious, and you will gain weight

[Hannah82]

Add to that cheese and porkrinds...they cheap. Quit making excuses and eat.

Agreed... Whole foods are always better than powders as well... not to mention you can save some money

[GetchyaWeightUp]

If you have extra money and you say your mother isn't buying the "right foods" than you should be using your money to buy the right ones not waste it on a supplement. Chicken, steak, ground beef, eggs, fish, oats, nuts, whole milk, pasta, rice, ect. You eat that 5-6 times a day with your veggies and try tell me you don't get better gains than any mass gainer on the market. Make sure you're drinking around a gallon of water a day as well.

What? 5000 calories does not cost 35 dollars. Also if you are 150 lbs I highly doubt you need that much to gain sufficient amounts of weight. You need to learn about proper dieting in the nutrition section first of all. Second.
7 boxes of pasta $7
7 lbs Chicken $14 dollars
24 eggs $4 dollars
2 jars of pb $6-8 dollars

That will make up a majority of the food for you during the week. Throw in some fruits, veggies, snacks and you will easily be at a calorie surplus. Costs under 35 dollars for the week assuming you don't buy wholesale.

It actually is about 36$ and it is 2,600 calories but you add it to a gallon of milk making it 5,000 calories hence the name Russian Bear 5,000. Look it up on the bodybuilding.com store. But I will buy foods as well I hear macadamia nuts are high in calories can someone give me a high calorie diet then? Peanut butter works but for me but at the point to were its enough to gain weight its too stuffing.

[IMaFLOSSyoTEEF]

milk, mashed taters, oatmeal, pizza buffet

[WC12]

Forget about Russian Bear, it's poo.

Get yourself a little cash together and ride over to Costco. You can get 10lb bags of individually wrapped chicken breasts for a little money. Also can get 8 packs of tuna, each can being 2.5 servings.

[01lowbird]

personally i like food... try it... delicious

I don't think master bench has to look it up bro. Your missing his point. And if you want to do that Russian bear challenge as I call it, go ahead. I gaurantee youll spend more money on toilet paper than you did the tub

[nuroppo]

At 16 you should be able to get out and buy some foods, I would hope. I'd agree with those saying if you have monies for sups you could spend that on food instead.

[MakeABanana]

Pizza, bro. If the thought of eating chicken breasts all day, err day kills you, eat pizza, burgers, cheese steaks, etc.
