one of the supplement store recommend me to take mass gainer to bulk up, so do they worth it? 1900 calorie for dymatize super mass gainer for RM 140-170. They contain loads of maltodextrin, they are basically carbohydrate but the huge differences compare this to traditional rice/oats is rate of digestion. Maltodextrin is a cheap source of carbohydrate that digest as fast as sugar according to wikipedia and it costs only $1 USD/lb while rice digest slowly, but I dont like to eat rice anyway
if I were to take mass gainers I would be taking half of the serving size of mass gainer just before weight lifting (900), breakfast (200), lunch+dinner (1400) total 2500 calorie, just above my tdee 2000 calorie to achieve calorie surplus for bulking
another more expensive alternative way is to buy 100% low carb whey protein, huge bags of oats, glucolin glucose (dextrose), full fat powdered milk and add them all together like this :
2 cups milk 0.5 cup oat 2 scoops whey protein 3 tablespoon glucose
around 1000 calorie for this shake to substitute mass gainer
glucose and table sugar is different, glucose is simple carbohydrate but the sugar that you always consume in mamak store, whatever sweet product out there is made up of table sugar thats contain basically 50% glucose and 50% fructose, fructose flood your liver so much until it develop fat

You are over-complicating things
Just eat rice, chicken, beef, fish, veg, milk, peanut butter, bread, pasta, whey, oats, nestum, peas, etcs. Be in a surplus and done. It's like the easiest shit.

 RM 10.99 for 30pcs you get 2,000 calories, 30 carbs, 140fats & 165 protein. Simply add table sugar, oat or bread for carbs.

worth it or not ? no, hell no, i would rather eat a variety of food that i like, milo ais, ice cream, chips and shit
but, convenience ? hell yeah, the macros is easy to count since you eat so little variety of food, most of your macros and calories from mass gainer
also you dont even need to cook, just shake shake and can drink
In short, not worth it but very convenient

@Armesh @degraw1993 Can the both of you please stop licking each other's balls in public and do it privately? We have a PM function in case you guys didn't notice.
TS, try not to opt for mass gainers immediately. It's a tool to help you hit your target but you need to get your foundation right first (Good diet, good training program).
