    Also, at best, you will gain UP TO 2 lbs of muscle a month. I am assuming that you are trying to gain muscle and not fat. 2 months is a very short time span and you won’t see much difference.

    I personally have a hard time hitting my protein and staying within my calories, so I supplement with optimum nutrition whey protein mixed with skim milk post weight workouts.

    Mass Gainer is just Protein powder with added vitamins, minerals, carbs and fat.
    It's a pile of calories, so it's great if you are currently in need of calories to meet your surplus goal, but it is no better than a plate of rice, beans, veggies and a chicken breast.

    I use Whey Isolate (Flavor Free) with 94% protein count per scoop. It's low calorie, but I have no problem reaching my goals with meals, so the whey is used only on days that I can't get my meals in or during weeks where change from cut to bulk.

    Now, if you want serious gains, you need to pay attention to everything.

    - Calorie surplus
    - Workout quality and especially, intensity
    - Meal count (Yes, meal spacing is important)
    - Sleep (Rest)

    Check and make sure you get those in line, everything else comes with consistency.
