    anything eaten that takes you into a caloric surprlus will help you gain weight.

    Is whey the best thing for that? no - calorie dense foods are, such as oats, fatty meats, whole milk, nut butters etc.

    what pros & cons are you expecting?

    pro:
    might taste nice, depending on what you buy and what you prefer flavour-wise.
    high in protein

    cons:
    might not taste nice, depending on what you buy and what you prefer flavour-wise.
    isn't a whole food source like chicken, meat, fish etc.

    Protein powder is mainly used to help meet your daily protein intake. For weight gain, your main priority should be your nutrition, so ensure that you have your diet in check and you're eating at a calorie surplus~

    If you have trouble eating throughout the day or eating larger meals, then protein powder may be useful in terms of convenience.

    There's plenty of great options on this website, just find one that fits your budget.
    You can't go wrong with Myprotein Impact Whey, we currently have 5.5 lbs for $55 (.55 cents per serving.)!

    Pros: convenient, quick to make, great amino acid profile.

    Cons: if you buy a poor quality whey then the taste/digestability will be off.

    If you want any impact whey protein samples, DM me or any of the myprotein reps

    Whey protein powder should solely be used to help you reach your protein macros for the day.

    Weight gain comes down to eating in a caloric surplus diet.

    If you are looking for a whey protein to add to your stack, I would suggest checking out Impact Whey.

    Of course it is good. It has calories lol

    Weight gain comes from a caloric surplus. Find out how much you need to eat to grow. Eat the standard 1g per pound of protein...whole foods preferably, but whey fits in great at times.
