protein shake vs weight gainer

ac · 04-07-2001, 07:58 AM

i am curently trying to put on a little weight and bulk up a bit. i take a good quality protein shake in small amounts about three times a day and also a large amount immediately after a workout with some complex carbs mixed in. i was wandering whether i should change to using a cheaper weight gainer throughout the day as each serving has about 30g of protein and 60g of carbs. also could i use the weight gainer as as a post workout drink as it provides both protein and carbs. someone has told me that the quality of protein in weight gainers is of a very poor quality and that you need to supplement weight gainers with a high quality protein shake. i'm not sure and would like to hear your opinions. cheers, ac

I use Twin Labs Gainers Fuel, but I always add a scoop or two of whey protein to my shakes

I'd say it depends on the brand, some might use a pore quality to keep the price down, just shop around a bit.

are you saying that the quality of protein in any weight gainer is poor? or is this a specific brand you're speaking of?

Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!
