I'm on a Susta cycle right now, getting arond 3500 cals, am thinking of throwing a weight gainer in like N large to up my intake to over 4000, just wondering if any of you guys find these weight gainers real helpful in getting extra cals, I"m not much about eating, I hate to eat, but I eat to grow, and thats it, which is why I"m trying to get some extra cals and protein?

GainerFuel2500 makes me vomit...very bad product in my mind. However, if you want a weight gain shake that's cheaper, more bioavaliable, and dosen't taste bad try this. -18-24 ounces milk Trust me, it will get your calories up there! Besides, being that fat is very important in protien metabolism, it works out better than most weight gainer shakes, which are more likely to cause diabetes than muscle growth, lol. | ||

Champion Nutritions Super Heavyweight Gainer is awesome. Not the 900 kcal one...but the newer 1200. Very easy to drink and not ruff on my stomach. | ||

you want to up your calories a total of only 500 from what you said... why not just add two more protein shakes during the day? That would do the trick! | ||

Not a flame meanone, but the raw eggs gets me a little freaked. Having had food posioning about 5 years ago, I wouldn't advice anyone eating raw eggs, unless you want to risk it and don't mind not being able to hold down any fluids or foods for several days and feeling like complete sh*t.... but hey, it's kinda a free country, so do what ya want =) JW | ||

I've used Twinlab's Super Gainers Fuel, and it helped me out alot as far as getting my calories in. It was pretty decent tasting too. ------------------ | ||

I took gainers fuel 2500 while on a cycle and liked it. Now I'm trying it without juice, so I'll see how it works without it. | ||

Hey Guys, I really like 2-Grow (from Next Nutrition). It's kinda hard to find (I guess they really only promotes Designer Protein) but the taste in both Vanilla and Chocolate is awesome. 4 scoups will give you 800+ calories (although I usually do 3 + scoop of protein powder). Designer also makes a great protein powder called Big Whey. Doesnt taste quite as good as their designer line but it comes in a 5 pd bag and is a lot cheaper. | ||

I can't work out and not have a cal. shake right afterwords. Drink the shake right after your workout and then eat a good meal about an hour after that.It has worked well with me.That should be a solid 1800 cal. within an hour and a half when your body needs it the most.Just my experiance. ---PEACE---Mad Max | ||

Go with Prolab N Large 2. I just tried it today for the first time and it is actually great tasting. I have the mixed berry, goes well with water. The powder tastes like pixie stix. Great stuff. Not too expensive either. ------------------ | ||

Someone touched on this above, but anyway, make sure to check the amount of scoops it takes to create their "2500 calorie shake" After concocting the proper amount of powder and milk together you may only have 12 servings of a shake that size per container. Knowing the "Servings Per Container" is key as well as knowing how much is in each serving. Good luck dude! |
