Mass XXX
Anyone try the protein from GNC which claims to have over 1000 calories. I tried to drink one but found it too thick.

make your own gainer and it will be cheaper and healthyer.
what you need:
2 servings
100-120g whey protein (I like need2whey chocolate)
50g oatmeal
20g dextrose (not needed but nice Post-WO)
4 TBS peanutbutter (just that is 400 cal)
2 bananas
hand full of frozen berrys
fill with milk or water (milk more cals obviously)
AND BLEND THAT SHIT UP.
I do this daily and its great.
supps i would add to this smoothy:
2g beta-alinine
1g taurine
3g creatine
0.5g ALCAR

long story short, it's a waste of money.

Been there and done the GNC Mass XXX. along with alot of their powder mixes. Personally I did not see much from their product as far as their protein line up. I did and still do buy their BCAA pills only because I have gotten benifts from the use of it. I still drop in to my local store at the first of the month and get in on their discounts. I'm using Cyto Gainer right now and sofar I'm pleased with this product. Mixes real good and taste really great.( choclate malt )

Better off making your own mass gain shakes. Typical ingredients would be whey, whole milk, peanut butter, olive oil, fruits, ect... It's quite easy to make a homemade shake that contains 1000 calories, and it should taste better and be better for you. Only downside, you have to have a blender and know/sum the calorie contents of what you're putting in it.

Agreed here. Try some Whey2build. Hell even the espresso doesn't taste bad and I hate coffee or cappucino of any type! Add some creatine in there and be on your way to big and strong. Just remember they are supplements and can be added throughout the day to reach your nutritional goals easier!!!!! Good luck!!!!!!! Originally Posted by M-Rods

Cry me a river, map doesn't taste nearly as bad as some other peptopro products, or ibcaa's straight, that is nasty stuff. Depends on the flavor though, I like to add some powdered gatorade to my map and it isn't half bad.

Why cant you find your maintenance calories first for your present bodyweight and simply add 10 to 20% more food (in the form of fat and protein) to your diet? Add a small glass of fruit juice 30 minutes before a meal to stimulate hunger if appetite is a concern.
GNC sucks balls anyway.
