No pros. For a $60-80 package that lasts 1-2 weeks, if that, is junk.
Buy real food with real nutrition. You'll digest it better,feel better, etc.

Pasta, oats, are excellent sources of easy carbs. Fork it down with protein like chicken/turkey and you'll easily hit your calorie/macros
>>
Mass gainers are just whey with added sugar or cornstarch
>>
Honestly, they aren't that great. You can make your own mass gainer shakes with whey and oats and stuff and have much more control over the macros.

amazon has one for $48 if I take half a serving should give 600 cals or so and last a while. I love eating oats and real food but I just get too bloated and full and constipated.

If I take a half serving of mass gainer only after I work out, in addition to my post work out meal and regular diet, will that cause much fat gain?
>>
>>36633172
anything over .5lb-1lb a week, depending on your body, will be fat. Just count your calories and weigh yourself consistently.
>>
Any tips to add calories to a shake?

I already use milk for the taste/ extra cals but can't really think of much else.
>>
>>36633347
OP here- my go to shake was 2 cups powdered oats, 2 cups skim milk, and a swig of EVOO. about 900 cal and 30 grams of protein, 20 grams healthy fats. But it's very filling, hence my looking for a mass gainer

why would a dog eat a coconut
>>
>>36633368
dogs are omnivores, unlike cats

and that's not a coconut
>>
>>36633347
grind up oats, find some higher calorie fruits or veggies to put in, I like avocados.

Perhaps he doesn't want to murder innocent sentient beings, unlike you filthy meat addicts!!!


Also it's a watermelon.
>>
>>36633368

that isnt a dog and thats a watermelon you friggin retard
>>
>>36633367

Yeah that does sound quite heavy, at 900 cals though thats pretty good

>>36633390

I like that idea, thanks

If your talking about serious mass on amazon. I've been on that for 5months for 3 packages. I literally gained alot of lbs from 156 to 184 at 6ft and currently 18%bf. I'd recommend it if your doing heavy lifts but make sure your only taking half a serving twice a day. You'll notice big changes on the scale a month in so you gotta change it up and start taking it every other day or you'll stack on hella fat
>>
>>36633029

mass gainers are mostly overpriced malto and whey

it's cheaper to make your own, and you can also do it with better proportions
>>
>>36635575
thanks for the tip bro, thats the one I was looking at

I'm also concerned about the creatine in it, I don't want to take that for various reasons. A half serving will give 0.5 grams, is that very much?

Pro Gainer or Carnivore Mass are much leaner, IMO
Serious Mass has a fucking wicked amount of carbs, which will store as fat if unburned.
