    Cheap Calories

    Hey guys I am on the hunt for some cheap calories. Best thing I have found so far is:
    Muscle Juice $57.99. 19 servings, 990 calories- 55g protein. Sometimes it can be found for a bit cheaper but still...

    I am looking for something cheaper. I am not concerned with taste.
    If anyone knows any cheap ass products gimme a holler.
    thanks!

    As in cheap calories, do you mean a wait gainer?...

    Just mix 2 scoops whey...
    1 cup D Milk...
    2 servings of oats...
    serving olive oil...

    5lb whey-$30
    2lb Oats-$2.25
    Extra virgin olive oil-$6
    D Milk-$3

    Total= $41.25

    Mix all together in a blender and enjoy...

    You will get 30 plus servings total...

    Calories-892g
    Carbs-77g
    Fat-30g
    Protein-70g

    You could even add a bannana for a 1,000 plus calorie total...

    I always make my own gainer shakes...

    Gainer shakes pre made are full of fillers and crap you don't need and very overpriced...


    A lot of them have dextrose and Malto... You only want that post workout not throughout the day...

    Boss. I am going to try that.
    I will mix it in with my Whey protein shake tomorrow morning and report back.
    I will have to use Vegetable oil but workin' with what I have.
    Surprised I never really thought about doing that before.
    Thanks!

    No prob bro, works great and you know everything that is in it...

    You might need to blend your oats to powder 1st so it all mixes well...

    Get some extra virgin olive oil when you can bro...

    Way better healthy fat... Or if you got Peanut butter add a couple table spoons of that in...

    Beats any gainer shake in price and taste any day...

    Happy bulking...

    Nice bro...

    The key is that you control exactly what is going in the shake and you end up with way more servings and a cheaper overall price...

    You can play around with adding Peanut butter, extra virgin olive oil, fruit, little bit of Ice creme in the summer, cottage cheese...

    It's endless..

    You can even buy whole wheat flour at a health food store in bulk for pretty cheap so you don't have to grind the oats...

    Makes mixing quick and easy...

    Dextrose: You're getting 10 pounds of glucose for less than $25 bucks. That's about 17,000 Calories.

    Eat some brazil nuts with your protein shakes. It has more fat and less carbs. than any other nuts.

    Dextrose is great with whey post workout, but as a weight gainer throughout the day this is not advised...

    This.Making your own shakes is definitely cheaper and better than a weight gainer full of sugars.

    I like coconut oil --actually love it.

    If you must blend calories, then use that for your fats. Rilose powder is easier to digest than oats and will be passed through the gut quicker. I also like coconut milk to, but if you can tolerate lactose then of course whole milk will be most calorie dense but ruins my stomch fro the remainder of the day.

    do you mean ribose powder? I tried that with creatine, which are supposed work well together but it didn't do anything for me.

    Thanks for the tips everyone
    So far I am doing the Protein + Raw Eggs + Dextrose (post workout) or + Oatmeal (for morning or throughout the day). I will add vegetable oil until I get some coconut oil.

    Bananas would ordinarily be the way to go for me, but being that I have a 10lbs bag of Chocolate protein powder...well Choc + Banana just doesn't sound good to me.

    Going to try a bit of Pnut butter with the chocolate protein now, experiment a bit!

    Correction. I don't have Dextrose, I have waxy maize starch...it was pretty cheap. Went with a product called Carb Slam.
    I take 1-2 scoops pre and post workout

    Hit up 3 meals + 2 homemade shakes -- then 1 dollar menu meal every night.

    That is simple.

    Just wanted to say that I am loving this combo:
    ON Choc Protein (1 scoop)
    Dump in a fairly random amount of Quaker unflavored oatmeal (I kinad eyeball it)
    1 bananna
    Tasty!!

    Might add some oil to get a bit more calories squezzed in.

    Every morning I blend:

    2 cups 2% milk
    2 scoops protein (1 scoop ON whey & 1 scoop Gaspari MyoFusion)
    1 cup Quacker oats
    1 (frozen) banana
    2 tbs almond butter, or natural peanut butter

    It tastes really good and it's high in calories.
