But here's the problem, I bought a 'Bargain' Mass Gainer, it seemed pretty good, 30g of protein per serving, whey and caesin.
Then it arrives, turns out that each serving is 100g, so its only 30% protein!!

The main ingredient is maltodextrin! I dont know much about maltodextrin, but from what ive heard its basically an additive.

If I use this mass gainer, 2 scoops with water before bed, will I gain muscle, but without gaining fat?

The brand is CNP Professional, and its called Pro-Mass

I've used Pro Mass in the past - found it to be pretty good but as said there is a lot of sugar in it. This is why I'd only really take it once per day as my PWO meal during a bulk. I'd also use a 100% whey as a pre workout meal as well.

So as an answer to your question, No you haven't wasted your money CNP are a good brand but I'd restrict its use and get a simple whey shake as well.

22lbs is quite a lot of lean muscle and no one suppliment will give you this. So make sure that your diet, training and recovery are all in check and it'll come. I'm assuming you are new to training so the main thing is consistency. If you eat right and train right the muscle will follow.

Thats a good balance IMO

I dont like too high carbs in a mass gainer I prefer a 50/50 split like above.

Whats the other 10g consist of?

thanks mate and agree with Tom i like the split, although my question was more towards what type of carbs they are...malto? barley? etc...

Tom the other 10g is probably the Optisorb

If you are going to try and be patronising its always advantageous not to make yourself look a fcuktard in doing so, sweet

Scott, indeed, my post was hinting that not all matter has a caloric value

I am not sure I am getting the Brit humor.
You guys chicken has carbs in it?
Is it pre-seasoned or marinated or something?
Maybe it has alot of MSG or something
