Best Weight Gaining Supplement for Skinny Guys?

mateou · 07-04-2004, 09:57 PM

Hey,
I am 22 yrs. old, 6'0 150 lbs. Needless to say, I am an ectomorph and pretty skinny. I want to gain mass, but find it hard to pack in the alotted 20x your body weight in calories (so like 3000 calories a day) with just food. Any suggestions on which or what type of protein/weight gaining supplement I should be using?? Any advice would be really helpful!

(I bought some N-Large 2, which has a lot of calories per serving, but have read a few reviews that it is high in sugars and fat. Your thought on an ectomorph using a supplement like this?)

Thanks!

learing how to diet is the most important thing. supplements only work when used in conjunction with a healthy eating plan. you need to learn how to count calories and pick foods that are nutrient dense. I would shot for macros close to 30/40/30...
