That's the problem with people trying to gain weight by consuming mass gainer.

You consume mass gainer of course can gain weight cause it has tons of calorie. Whenever you stop then you will start losing weight. So are you planning to consume for the rest of your life? Soon will get diabetes.

Based on your diet. You're relying too much on mass gainer which is very bad for your health.

I suggest you start eating real food. Slowly adapt to eating more and more.

To answer your questions.

1. Not sure what device you using but try to know the pressure point. Usually a good device have better points over the plate so it doesn't matter how u put your foot.
2. No way you can calculate calorie accurately unless you measure everything and cook yourself at home. Usually just ballpark figure then scale everyday and adjust accordingly.
3. Drinking water gain water weight. Other than that it helps with digestion and converting your carb to glycogen. Of course it doesn't put on your mass directly.

Thanks for answering.

Actually, I already have a hint of diabetes. My HbA1C reading is 6.5 back in in Feb 2020. Diabetes borderline is 6.3 onwards. I started this new diet 2 weeks ago. I got so freaked out of me losing mass that I went out to buy mass gainer on a whim in an attempt to reverse the mass loss. But after reading your warning, I will stop. Thanks. Which brings me to the next question
How to eat a lot to gain mass but at the same time don't get diabetes? You see, carb is carb, no matter where you get it from mass gainer or normal food and the insulin will react just the same. So... I am not sure how a person can eat a lot to gain mass but at the same time don't get diabetes. Please enlighten me.

You gain mass by consuming at calorie surplus. Calorie can be carb / protein / fat. Better eat a balanced diet.

Carb is carb yes but processed food, sugar, fast food, etc will spike your blood sugar faster than a slow digesting carb like oat. You can eat more protein & healthy fat to bump up your calorie intake.

I would suggest you to consult doctor, check your blood, dump mass gainer, eat healthier, track your progress and workout consistently. That's the lifestyle you should maintain for the rest of your life.
