Mass Gainer

[Rocco32]

Has anyone tried this? What does everyone think about this? Maybe taking one serving a day after w/o. http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=377

I have was always been skeptical about mass gainers but now I am searching for correct information about it. I really don´t have the time to eat 4.5k

Damn, thats a lot of calories. If your bulking I dont see a problem with it. I would limit it to 2 shakes a day, instead of 3 though.

I wish I knew the G.I for all these carbs

 

[PreMier]

Why?

 

[Vieope]

Ok, tell me why I shouldn´t know..

 

[PreMier]

Haha! I never said that you shouldnt know, I was curious why you wanted to know.

Its a weight gainer shake... I just dont see the point in disecting its nutrients. You drink it to get more calories. You shouldnt be worried about the GI in the carbs.

Protein 50 g
Carbohydrate 252 g
Fat_4.5 g

Calories = 1250

That is a lot.Imagine if that carbohydrate comes from chocolate. Even if you are bulking you should worry about what type of carbs you are ingesting.

 

[PreMier]

Yes, but in the ingrediants, it says that the carbs are complex. IE:Not from chocolate or sugar

 

[Rocco32]

I would only do it once a day, and on training days I think. When I was bulking before, I was having trouble hitting even 300g of carbs or 3,000 cals. I should have no problem going over that with 1 scoop of this a day.

Yes but.. yes but.. shut up!

Anyway, I remember reading some complex carb as high as chocolate. I guess pasta is one of them but you have that whole theory that some foods reduce the G.I like flax seed oil.
