Not sure which supp your using, but quite honestly, a lot of those weight-gainers have such a concentration of carbs that I don't always feel right after I throw one down. Try using a diff brand, if that doesn't work I'd say to just stick with calorie-dense foods. I'm in the same position as far as trying to gain weight and I take every oppurtunity I can to eat as many subs as possible :P

Nick please tell me you aren't recommending a Mass Builder with 11% protein are you? Bcos in my book that not a Mass Builder thats a fat maker.

Nick500

Serving Size: 337g (2 Heaping Scoops)

with 50 grams protein

15 % protein

still very low....

Extreme is right, perhaps its not the best. The reason I usually recommend this one is because its:
1. really cheap
2. really high in 'calories' but at second look maybe not so good.....
3. contains creatine
4. contains protein (but not as much as I thought...)

U'd probably be better off buying some Extreme Performance Mass, seen here: http://www.extremenutrition.co.uk/ca...89afb51053ba7a

Extreme also offers a discount to Musclechat members.

All this stuff about mass builders containing 800 cals or 1200 cals is the biggest pile of crap around, I cannot believe people still fall for this sh1t!

Please observe;
1g protein = 4 calories
1g carbs = 4 calories
1g fat = 9 calories

Do the maths, the very most you can get in 100gr (unless its loaded with fat) is 400 calories, agree? So unless you are getting a supplement with loads of fat you cannot really get more than 400 cals per 100gr.

Extreme Performance Mass 392cals/100gr (if bought from our site you get 25% off retail price and free delivery)
Muscletech Mass Tech 368cals/100g
PVL Gourmet Gainer 396cals/100g
Prolab N-Large2 396cals/100g
Sci-Mentor Mass Gainer 380cals/100g
Garnell Whey Gain 392cals/100g
Reflex Instant Mass 354cal/100g

So as you see if you take 200g+ of powder you get 800cals, many of the cheaper ones above are laden with sugars which you will not have time to digest and due to the insulin release will end up being stored as fat.

If you want to see the scales go up follow the bullsh1t marketing some companies offer and see your tub and wallet empty FAST then go for the mutliple calorie per serving products or the one nick suggested.

Personally I'd say go for a product with plenty complex carbs, at least 30% protein from a good manufacturer advising approx 100g servings 2 or 3 times per day subject to diet.
