I'm still trying to bulk and am having a hard time finding the right calories, so I'm thinking of taking a weight gainer. When should I take it...before workouts? After workouts? In the morning? Also, do I replace a meal with it or have it with or between meals? Thanks in advance!

my favorite brand of weight gainer is food, you can buy it at walmart for a pretty low price. But ya, dont waste you money on a weight gainer bro, eat an excess amount of calories. Weight gainers will pack the fat on you, while food will pack the muscle mass on you if you diet is in check.

most weightgainers have tons of carbs, a lil sugar ( depending on the quality), and protein. usually not a lot of fat either. to me this sounds like a great PWO shake. which is the way i used my weightgainer. creatine immediately postworkout, shake around 10 minutes after creatine. then a real meal around 45 minutes to an hour after your workout
