Generally supermarket supplements are of poor quality - unless they stock a good brand. Some supermarkets stock maximuscle which is a fairly good brand, but expensive compared to others. Most supermarkets seem to sell weider which I dont rate at all. How many of us took megamass 4000 when we first started out? Tasted great - but what do you expect with such high sugar content? Loved the megamass 4000 episode of south park with cartman 'bulking up'.

The large tub of prolab nlarge2 has 18 servings and the smaller has 11 if I remember correctly. Personally I'd recommend using half servings though, as the body utilises the nutrients more effectively in smaller, more frequent doses. 600 cals (or 800 with milk) is a lot to have in one go. That would obviously make 36 and 22 servings respectively.

I'd just echo what the other guys have said - you really need to eat more frequently and balance your meals better. A can of tuna alone is a poor meal - especially if you're looking to gain weight. If you have a bagel with that and sprinkle some flax seed on your tuna - then you have a nutrionally sound meal. If you add a mushroom ommelette with three whole eggs and three whites to breakfast with a piece of fruit and one or two less slices of toast then thats a great breakfast. As Hackskii said, the lunch is a little too large compared to your other meals - better to lose the sandwich and one of the bananas or replace the burgers with some good meat in the sandwich. Dinners fine so long as you include some veg. Then maybe squeeze in two half servings of nlarge2 or a similar mass gain shake (I like Garnell Whey Gain at the moment) and you've covered all your nutritional angles. Then you just need to get your training program optimised and you'll soon pack on the mass.
