Is there any other weight gainers there that probably works faster?? I'm taking Cytogainer 3 times a day.

I take it on breakfast with 2 boiled eggs, and 1 serving of oatmeal before I work out.

I take it again with another 2 boiled eggs and 1 canned tuna an hour after my work out

I also eat every two hours (chicken breast with veggies)

And before bed, I take it again with 2 servings of oatmeal, 1 canned tuna (water) and 2 tbspn peanut butter with white bread.

If you guys have any suggestions please do. It'll be a good help thanks

Food/shakes only work as fast as you can process them. All weightgainer shakes are basically the exact same thing: Lots of maltodextrin and sugar.

If you changed your diet to include some more low GI carbs or fats with your meat, you wouldn't even need any weightgainer shakes IMHO. For instance, you could get a bottle of Flax seed oil for a whopping $12 that'll last a month. Each tablespoon is 120 cals. Click here

With all that being said, if you can afford those weightgainer shakes, then more power to you. Waaay back in the day when my diet sucked ass, I was very partial to N-Large-2, which 10 lbs went for $45.

Yeah weightgainers are sure hell'a expensive I'am looking for a cheap way yet effective. I should try that flax seed oil and add mor low GI carbs on my diet I just have to work on my powerlifting after. Thanks a bunch bro!!

I've been through a few jugs of weight gainer and to be honest it really didn't like it at all. First of all the serving sizes are outrageous. I had a 10 lbs. jug and it only had 19 servings. Some of them are generally high in saturated fat.

I personally wouldn't eat oatmeal or white bread before bed. Only thing I eat before bed is 1 cup of cottage chz.

I see, I switched it from wheat bread; I heard it has less carbs. I started eating cottage cheese before bed aswell... Is peanut butter ok though??

Are you loosing weight?

It is very important to have a decent meal with good protein before going to bed. This is because during the night you dont eat anything but your body needs energy to recover from workouts as well as protein to build up muscle mass.

If there is not enough nutrients and energy in your system during the night, your body will go from anabolic state to catabolic state. Catabolism is something a bodybuilder try to avoid because it means using muscle for energy.

Personally, I eat oatmeal with 2 table spoons of olive oil +cottage cheese before going to bed. Milk protein is best protein for the night because it is slow protein and your body will use it for a long time.

Going to bed with an empty stomach is a muscle killer.

You said it. I have never used gainers and never will. Why? Because the weight you gain is not muscle. Sugar and maltodextrin retain water in your body. This water shows on scale when you weigh yourself. After being on plus calories for awhile using weightgainers, you will gain fat.

REALLY??!! Wow I never realized that.. I also spent alot of money of all weight gainers too!! I'm gonna stop using it from now on.. I'll use flax seed oil with regular high protein diet. Thanks for the info

Yes. A weight gainer, in my opinion, is only good when used occasionally to substitute a normal meal. This is when you are on the road etc. and you have to carry "a meal" with you.

Weight gainers and fat burners are something people buy a lot without questioning their effect. Also, with fat burner drinks, you dont really loose weight with drinking something. Caffeine, taurine etc. in a drink may push up your heart rate a little bit, which, in result, bring a littlebit higher calorie consumption, but that is very mariginal.
