weight gainer question

tgo007 · #1 07-07-2007, 01:20 AM

I just bought a weight gainer because I'm too skinny. It says I have to take 4 scoops 3 times a day.... WTF! This is so hard to do. Almost impossible for me to do this and eat normal food.

For all the people who have used weight gainers before....

1. Did u really take 4 scoops 3 x a day or did you take less scoops or only do it once or twice a day?

Nobody here is going to recommend you to take weight gainer. Just eat a ton of real food, especially stuff yourself before bed.

Smiley is on the money.

Work on beefing up your diet (it may take time to get used to eating as much as you may have to).

As a matter of fact it might be helpful to post your normal intake and such here and get feedback on things you can avoid/include in your regular consumption.

Yeah. Eat a lot of natural peanut butter, chicken breasts, and lean hamburgers. That shouldn't be too tough, right?

Drink protein shakes if you can, too. That'll go a long way.

QFT, this is what I attribute my weight gain to. Make sure to mix in milk, 2% or whole. Ton of calories and protein in this stuff.

If you can suck down whole milk, definitely do that. Personally I can't stand it, but 2% is reasonable enough.

Just curious, what's so wrong with weight gainer?

Soh,

Its basically trash.

OP,

Drink more calories. If you have trouble getting down calories you shouldn't be drinking any beverages without calories in them.

I would take that stuff back and get a simple protein powder, unless you like sitting on the toilet all day while pissin out your A**hole.

To gain weight, eat everything in sight. And since you're skinny I wouldn't worry too much on keeping it too clean. All those extra calories will put you in an anabolic state
