    Mass gainers are filled with sugars, stay away from them. It is better to have high calorie foods like peanut butter and full fat milk.

    Waste of $$$. Make your own with real food (oats, PB, fruit, milk, yogurt, etc.) & Whey protein if needed

    ^I agree. If you want some good recipes, I recommend looking at www.theproteinchef.co or https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10326769/are-you-a-hard-gainer-please-read/p1

    Weight gainers get a bad rep, but I think if you get the right one, it can help you bulk, just don't be excessive with it, in fact I'll typically do half the serving size amount so for example one entire scoop of the ON Pro Weight Gainer is 650 calories, but I don't an extra 650 but I could use an extra 325 calories so I do half of a scoop with some water, drink it, and move on. I know for me, it's easier to consume more calories throughout the day with liquid, I recommend ON Pro Weight Gainer, look at the nutrition facts though and see if it fits with your daily diet. It comes down to getting in the right amount of calories, getting the right amount of macros, and of course vitamins and minerals.

    I've had fair results with serious mass. I've taken it daily for the past 2 years. I only take a half serving in the morning blended with avocado and almond milk. I'm not a big eater so it helps me hit my calories and maintain what little gains I have. I've had 2 yearly physicals since taking it and all my blood work is good so it has not given me diabetes yet. I got my abs showing while taking it so maybe it should be called serious cuts?

    I do the same. Just make sure you get a flavor you can have over and over again... like chocolate. I tried banana and definitely did not like it.
