What weight gainer? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Robleerob · 15-11-2007, 11:49 AM

Am just wondering what weight gainers u guys recommend. I dont really have time for lotsa cooking and eating huge amounts of food. I already eat 6 times a day but not enough to bulk up.

am guessing a good weight gainer would be ideal.

when should i take them.? would it just be on training days or all the time??

thanks in advance

Weight gainers are not the answer if your diet is poor. Post up your current diet so advice can be offered.

Blended oats and Palatinose are good. Most of the shelf stuff is made up of Maltodextrin.

But as clarkey said, what is your diet currently? I'm willing to bet it isn't as good as it should be given this quote "I dont really have time for lotsa cooking and eating huge amounts of food", although I could be wrong.

malotodextrin is ok if you want to just bulk up though, not the best carb of choice but in terms of value for money and making up an easy weightgain shake it does the job,
CNP pro mass is ok, i use that when im bulking up, have a look at the board sponsors for cheap deals, also myprotein do a decent weightgain formula

You've answered you're own question with your diet...

8am - 1.30pm = 5.5hrs without protein.

Snacks should just be smaller servings of proper food... I.e. chicken and rice but in a smaller tub.

Eat every 2/3hrs, with 30g protein and 30g carbs per meal as a starting point - try and see if you can re-do your diet based on that.

yeh i know theres big gaps there but thats where i was thinkin a weight gainer wouldn't go amiss.

wot u think?

I need re-doing from scratch mate.

I'd have 5 real meals and 2 shakes personally...

leeston · 15-11-2007, 03:21 PM

that diet is @rse globules.

Mate, get real. If you have money to buy supplements then you have money to buy real food.

Large bowl of porridge and half a bannana for breaky.....why half a banana and what constitutes as a large bowl, how many g's dry is that?

So you intend to have the mass shakes as well as the protein shakes. Buddy thats too much shaking going on there.

Robleerob · 15-11-2007, 03:45 PM

ok thats fair enuf, am new to this, but i assumed the whole idea of "meal replacements" or weight gainers is to replace meals??

i have the money to buy real food but i dont have the time to cook it.
