Commercial weight gainers are not recommended when you can make your own for less. A quick google will direct you. They usually revolve around peanut butter, oats, milk, protein powder, bananas, etc. Just gotta be mindful of caloric intake to ensure you gain muscle and not fat.

Generic mass gainers basically low amount of protein and plenty of empty carbs, basically sugars for most of them with some fats in it, a lot of calories in liquid form

U might aswell order the equivalant calories in kfc/kebab/pizza/etc as itll taste a whole lot nicer

The only real reason to get a mass gainer is if you need to up your calorie intake over the day and don't have time to eat during the day. They are usually just made up excess carbs and some protein.

Much better to up your calorie intake with excess food / meals (Heaps of information online about daily meal plans), but can often be hard to do if you have a pretty demanding job during the day.

Yeah I know a lot of people say they are always too busy to do stuff like that but to be real honest, everyone has time to eat properly or eat enough etc. to gain mass.

Remind's me of that British show that used to be on pay TV Supersize vs Superskinny where the skinny people were always complaining that they were always "on the go" or too busy to eat but really, everyone can find the time, it's just a matter of wanting too.

That's really their target market, the people who CBF actually preparing their food.

They are also really expensive for what you actually get in them.

People.use weight gainers because they are easy to use and generally, taste really good.

BUT a better option is to make ur own with higher quality ingredients and where you control the macros. As was said, easy to make using oats, banana, whole milk and then add in nut butters, and choose ur protein flavour. That way, you wont be simply drinking one flavoir day after day, get a few WPC's and alternate to stay motivated.

This exactly! Break it down to individual ingredients and dose accordingly!

Looks like Quest are giving away some free samples, in response to their recent ingredients and formula change that lots of people weren't happy with (including changing the IMO to corn syrup). They want feedback this time on how they've retweaked the formula.

http://www.questnutrition.com/recipe-feedback/social

It does include international, so grab yourselves some free bars!

Liquid calories are a good way to get excess in if you're the natural undereating type. Having said that though, eating food that's inherently energy dense is way more fun as others have mentioned and will save you plenty versus a mass gainer. Milk is cheap and full of all the things a growing boy needs...

Getting into a Woolworths or Coles later in the evening is also a great way to source cheap flour based products including breads and pastries. Lollies and chocolate is very cheap if you're willing to buy generic brands that belong to the supermarket also (Aldi and NQR also sell very cheap confectionary and dairy products on most days).

Managed to pick up 4kg of mass gainer for a little over $50 from that GNC half price sale the other day, so for that price figured I'd give it a go. Seems to have a good protein content/ratio when compared to others. Used to make my own mix with powdered oats but I didn't go through it fast enough and it's now well past use by date. Keen to see how it goes once I finish my current cut.

I've lost weight and am now relatively toned everywhere except my stomach, but now want to bulk. Should I stick to my current diet and just chuck in a couple of protein shakes a day? Or go for a mass builder a day? I'm worried the extra carbs in it will be stored as fat.

Mass builders tend to be pretty carb heavy I'd be more inclined to go the milk route or even just up the protein even more.

Looks like Venom are changing their packaging.

Looks alright, very similar style to BN. Edit: As in the style of the actual physical packaging.

Yeah depending on the extent of your surplus, this is probably a wiser option. Protein will make you less likely to overeat excessively but having said that carbohydrates will (like protein) assist in recovery and glycogen replenishment (which protein won't do).

Carbohydrates can be your best friend if you're lifting weights but at the same time it really comes down to the amount of food you want to overeat on in general. A more minor surplus will likely lead to good muscle gain without too much fat storage but excess anything can (and often will) be stored as fat (and that includes protein it's just that itself and carbohydrates are less likely too versus dietary fat).

Mind you, protein intake doesn't have to be enormous either but still keeping it relatively high is a good idea for muscle protein synthesis and fullness in conjunction with a mix of fats and carbohydrates.

Killabees writes...

As above, extra anything will be stored as fat so just be mindful in that regard. Carbohydrates keep some people fuller for longer (generally not the processed/refined stuff) and others do better with lower relative carbohydrates and higher fat intakes (while keeping protein high(er). However, if you don't overconsume carbohydrates too much this option is better for two reasons and one is minimising fat gain and the other is restoring muscle glycogen which essentially leads to greater lifts with regards to volume, progression on the barbell or both.

Carbs won't make ANYONE fat. Seriously, eat at a deficit and you can eat all the carbs you want, it won't make a lick of difference.

Bulk Nutrients are quite highly regarded around here. Both them and venom protein have very good protein products at excellent prices. Your choice will depend on what flavours you like (the new BN salted caramel is stupidly delicious) but I've been shopping with BN for a solid 2 years now. Bulk Nutrients even has a store rep who comments on this thread sometimes.

Their other supps are also very good. Lots of people have different preferences in terms of their pre-workout supps but the BN ones are as good as any, definitely worth a try.

The poster was looking to bulk though man, so contextualising carbohydrates in that light is important. Anything will make you fat in surplus if you don't tune things in...
