A newbie here.
I am about to buy a mass gainer to build my muscle as I am too skinny.
I am very interested to Elite Mass as it is quite affordable due to its price per serving ratio.
Wanna ask that which flavour is the best? Consider double chocolate or banana

nothing beats the real taste

if you are a picky eater, you wont like them. if you arent a picky eater and are committed, any flavor will do. if you dont like the taste, just remind yourself your goal and the gainz youre getting.


most importantly, know your macros and hit them consistently. there are enough stickies for that.

Do you try this mass gainer before?? Do it effective?
I'm not picky, just don't be too bad taste haha

By eating a big bowl of instant oats, gulp down two tablespoons of olive oil, and three or four half boiled eggs, finish with one or two big bananas. Won't that be enough? Why the need for crappy weight gainers?

Its veeeery sweet and texture is veeeeery thick and the serving size is horrendous.

Since you can't even eat real food I bet you not gonna be able to finished a serving of it.

Real food probably tastes much better, haha

100g os oats is 360kcal
2 table spoon is 240kcal
4 half boiled egg is 300kcal
2 big banans is 240
Total 1140.

MG has 50g protein plus 1200kcal. So you need to adjust something there. Add 300g of chicken and reduce oat. Thats how you adjust when you know your macros instead of relying on MG.

Firstly, since this was just a simple reply to bring about an idea, I disregarded grams and kcal. Just went by the estimated tolerable satiety level for a beginner that's starting to eat right - glad to know that the actual calorie count came almost identical to a serving of mass gainer.

Weight gainers are mainly carbs, which is a cheap and easy way to allocate calories, mostly through maltodextrin. As you can see, in real life applications it's mainly carbs too, and some oil to ease consumption while boosting the calorie count, otherwise it'd be too filling and the beginner would just give up.

Main point to note here is that real food are much healthier and highly nutritious. And this is just for one meal in the course of a day, of which the main priority is to get in the adequate amount of calories. Of course, for subsequent meals go ahead and increase the protein to meet requirements, e.g. chicken fillet and additional eggs/whey, with carbs/fats being of lesser priority and coming in only after you've managed to finish consuming your proteins.

More carbs again for dinner (minimize fats and add some whey protein if affordable) so it'd be easier for digestion prior to sleep, otherwise you'd get gastric reflux easily.
