Weight gainer suggestions?

how many meals are you having a day? if you don't have any diatairy restrictions, starches are likely a good thing to look into including as snacks (potatoes and pastas)

something that should be kept in mind is that if you'e trying to gain mass, having 3000 calories a day is a surefire way to do so.

The GOMAD program was mentioned in another thread. That's supposed to be a weight gain strength gain diet.

I've spent the last 25 years, roughly, trying just about every product , routine & technique imaginable.
For starters, the basics...(you probably already know)..
Eat more than you burn off.
You'll have to experiment and see how many calories it takes to maintain your weight...then, add to it. This can vary wildly, depending on your circumstances, workout intensity, job requirements, etc...
For example,...if I followed a previous poster's advice of eating 3000 calories a day, I'd lose about 2 - 3 lbs a week.
I have to eat 4000 a day, just to maintain....I aim for 5000 to gain weight.
High protein,a good amount of carbs, and plenty of healthy fats....lots of water, too.
There are many good gainers out there. Contrary to what some uninformed folks say, they DO work...as long as you use them as intended...as a supplement...
They are IN ADDITION to your regular meal plans....they aren't intended to take the place of a regular meal.
BSN, VPX, cytosport all make really good products..
I'm currently using myogenix after shock critical mass...packed with tons of good stuff.
If cost is a concern, muscle milk gainer gives you the best bang for your buck.
It takes a crazy type of dedication to pack on quality weight.... I started out at 115 lbs...years later, I'm about 195.
Lastly, the gomad thing is, without question , the stupidest idea I've come across in a long time.
It started out as a joke among bodybuilders to tell new guys that was their trick to getting big.
Some fool ran with it and convinced other fools that it's a good idea.
It's horrible.
Absolutely shitty nutrition specs....low protein, not enough carbs, crappy dairy fats.
Don't waste your time.
If you managed to drink a gallon in a day, you'd add roughly eight pounds on.....
You'd also be nauseous, bloated, and pretty much useless if you wanted to actually hit the weights.
And then you'd excrete it and not have anything to show for it.
Don't be a fool.
There is no super easy trick...
It takes effort, discipline,& some education.
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions...
Good luck!

1/2 pint of water
1 or 2 bananas
100g oats
2 scoops of whey (choc tastes best)
1 dessert spoon of natural peanut butter
blend and drink circa 600cals

have your normal meals and drink two of the above a day you gain weight believe. I did this and went from 15st 7 to 17st 10lbs in a year.

you look lean in your avatar but be warned some fat gain is necessary to gain weight



or after every meal drink 1 pint of whole milk and eat 1 slice of whole grain bread and butter after every meal. do this for a couple of weeks then eat 2 slices. It can be a real chore to eat all those calories. I even blended tuna and rice and drank it to get the extra protein and cals in

Weight gainer powders you buy over the counter are garbage; nutritionally void trash with lots of sugars and who knows what else in them, and very overpriced in regards to how many servings you actually get out of them.

The poster above me is definitely on the right track, make your own shakes with your own ingredients. Here are some viable options of ingredients I'd recommend...

Protein Sources:
Egg Whites
Whey Isolate Powder
Casein Protein Powder
Skim Milk
Cottage Cheese

Carbs:
Oats
Bananas
Strawberries
Blueberries
Apples
Asparagus
Broccoli
Spinach
Kale

Healthy Fats:
Natural Peanut Butter
Natural Almond Butter
Olive Oil
Flaxseed Oil
Avacados

I'd recommend combining 2 protein sources, 2 carb sources, and 1 healthy fat source for each shake. If you have a good blender, you don't even taste shit that tastes gross when eaten by itself (in my opinion) such as kale or flaxseed oil.

The best way to put on weight is with real food. Get in your protein, good fats and then fill the rest of your calories in with whatever you want.

I am 5'4 about 123 lbs , I want to get bigger but idk where to start . I have been drinking some Whey Isolate Powder , I often drink it but I think I'm not doing it right . I mix with milk and 2 scoops every 2 days . I don't lift nor do i keep count of calories / protein... I have no clue where to start .. can someone point me in the right direction .

It's not fucking rocket science.

You want to build good, quality muscular weight?

Consume more calories per day than you burn, and stimulate protein synthesis in your muscles by working out.
