NLarge2...causing too much fat gain?

[Nighthawkk]

I've been using NLarge2 (4 scoops in water or 1% milk) post-workout and between breakfast and lunch. I think it may be adding a little more fat than I would like (currently running test/deca/dbol), so should I switch to my regular whey powders instead and just use the NLarge post-workout only? I have a feeling all the carbs from the maltodextrin may be the culprit, but I'm uncertain really. Cutting out the gainer would drop calories of course, but I suppose I can add in more oatmeal and natural peanut butter to compensate for it. Any suggestions or ideas?

The gainer has a bit too much in terms of high-gi carbs, I would suggest making your own mix of protein: www.proteinfactory.com w/ less carbs and a more balanced protein breakdown. W/ your cycle and the weight gainer, you will be gaining water and fat, so you have to see and differentiate.

yeah...def drop the n large, go with oatmeal, peanut butter, or flax oil in your shakes. Depending on what you want the ratios to look like.

you have the benefit of getting whole food for the most part (although liquidized) and not dealing with GI carbs from gainers.

take some r-ala too.

i just started the homemade MRP thing and its great....

if you're lazy, muscle milk is pretty good for gaining...3 scoops or so and you're straight.

So what would be the best combination at proteinfactory? Don't get me wrong, I do want SOME high-GI carbs in the mixture, just not such a high percentage as NLarge. Much thanks for the help

So what would be the best combination at proteinfactory? something like: 40%egg white protein/30%maltodextrin/10%dextrose/10%caseinate/10%whey
