i have do some calculation on mass gainer vs 100% pure whey + dextrose
for Dymatize Super Mass Gainer RM 155 with 12 lbs, 16 servings (2 scoops) provide 1900 calorie and 82g protein
assume you take 1 scoop per serving for 900 calorie and 40g
lets combine 100% pure whey and dextrose,
we will take ON 100% Whey that has 80 servings and provide 24g protein per scoop, so to make them equal we consume 1.67 scoop a serving that provide 40g protein, so the total servings reduced to 47.9 (aprox)
dextrose selling at 10 lbs (4.54KG) and provide 180 calorie per 46g dextrose, to get 900 calorie we need 5x 46g = 230g, we need to consume 230g dextrose a serving to get 900 calorie
10 lbs dextrose priced at $25 (RM 88) only provide 19.56 servings, so we need 2.45 bottle 10lbs dextrose with 1 bottle 100% ON Whey to get 900 calorie 40g protein with 47.9 servings total RM 386 (ASSUME WHEY DONT PROVIDE CALORIE)
to compare them in terms of calorie and protein in 1 serving (900 calorie, 40g protein)
Dymatize Super Mass Gainer RM 155/32 = RM 4.8100% ON Whey + Dextrose RM 386/47.9 = RM 8.1In Conclusion : Using mass gainer is much cheaper than whey + dextrose

This Mass gainers may look cheap, but one thing you should know is they often lack vitamins and minerals which are found in food. E.g 100g of chicken is so much better than 1 scoop of whey.
