in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
You can start with protein shake with high calories.
Go on amazon they have shakes that can increase ur calorie intake up to 1500. It will be great for gaining weight, which is what I am doing now

    Those shakes are packed with sugar which isn't the best way to get your calorie up. Especially not 1000 calories worth.

    This. Weight gainers tend to also be overpriced as hell for what they are. It would be much cheaper to just buy bags of normal protein powder and table sugar (or dextrose) and mix to the same ratios. Most who do carb heavy shakes tend to grind up oats and dump in instead, for tge carb source.

    And if I wanted sugar packed foods, there's a whole lot more fun things to eat than a mass gainer.

    I agree with all of the above.
    I started to make my own high cal smoothies, you can tailor it to your tastes and macros. So much easier IMO

    I would prefer a protein shake with a side of ice cream.

    I'd go for a chicken breast and chocolate brownies topped with ice cream for 1500 calories.

    Protien shakes are not needed for most people. It's marketed well to make people think so. Cals are king when trying to gain weight. Ice cream is a excellent choice ;).

    What a waste weight gainer shakes are, way overpriced as some tubs are 100.00. 1 or 2 scoops protein powder, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 cup egg whites, 2 tbsp peanut butter, 2 or 3 packs stevia, 1 banana, NOW thats a shake
