Weight Gainer

[Christopher]

Hey fellas just worked out the calories and protein in my shakes which I have twice a day, great for bulking.

1 banana
30g whey protein - 25 of which is actually protein
60g skim milk powder
30g olive oil
.5L 2% milk.
2 servings fruit yoghurt. (200g)

wack it in a blender and there you go.

its 1120 calories and 72g protein from my calculations.

anybody else got there own little recipies?

[joehagyHH]

too lazy to make my own, so i just use n-large. LOL

[Christopher]

hahaha nlarge has nothing on this.

although conveniant Im sure.

[mdx3k]

im planing on getting it!

[joe78]

Try some chocolate nlarge with a banana in it. Stay away from the vanilla, tastes like crap.

I usually mix 2 cups whole milk with 1/2 pint Ben & Jerry's vanilla ice cream with 25g of whey protein.

Christopher, why olive oil?

[Christopher]

nlarge has 500 calories, try my above shake you will like it.

Olive oil because its more available to me than flaxseed at the moment yet similar in qualities.

N Large2 is pound for pound the best weight gainer on the market. It is moderately priced (compared to most), easy to mix and has a high caloric amount.

However Christophers may be more time consuming, it is natural and very wholesome. If you have the time, I would make Christophers. It sounds delicious, what does it really taste like Christopher?

N LArge 2 is definetly good stuff, and i dont know what ur talkin about, the vanilla is the best kind. Throw a banana in it or some ice cream n its NIIICE..

At first it was great but to be honest I dont particular enjoy them to much anymore haha its rather thick with the powder etc. they are great when I start drinking them but the last few mouthfulls are an effort, i just feel having two of those shakes a day is a great way to get up 2400 calories just through 2 meals. Not so appropriate for cutting I dont imagine.

Thanks for sharing that recipe with us. I am looking for something like that as I am trying to push my weight up. I reckon if I took two of your shakes I would be on nearly 4500 calories per day with my current food intake - they do taste good do they.? Oh yeah how costly are they to make ?

[Stone Cold]

I think 72 grams of protein is pushing it at one serving unless it's immediately after a workout. I remember reading this in one of the articles on the site about post-workout meals. I'm pretty sure someone said on the previous boards that anything over 50 grams of protein just goes down the crapper.

Damn how i need to get a blender in my little ghetto apt.

When i make a wholemade weight gainer..its over.

Everything goes in it.

Milk

whey powder
pancake mix
the nieghbors cat
choco syrup
yogurt
cottage cheese
fruit
honey

LoL BR

unnatended Children.

are they tasty?

In regards to the 72g protein thing I really dont know, I mean nlarge has 50 and if you mix it with milk you will end up with about 60-65 so 72 isnt as much as it sounds.

As far as cost is concerened, you will have to ask my mother =)

hahaha with the ammount she whinges about my food intake I imagine quite a bit.
