This is pretty much all you need right here. I like a half cup of oats for the fiber and frozen fruit to make it more like a slushie.

Oats of course! I eat em in the bowl. Fpr some odd reason banana in oats tastes odd to me. Lol

Weight gainers will just make you go to the bathroom. When I was younger I tried everything to gain weight, even did GOMAD (gallon of milk a day). The real answer is just learning to eat more. Increase your portion size, add an extra meal and have healthy snacks between meals.

Its mad how popular weight gainers are yet youll never see any pro bodybuilder use one because they are absoloute trash! Just get yourself a good whey isolate, 125g oats, 25g natural peanut butter blend up and you have 850 cals right there even with just water and ice. Easy to make easy to digest no shitty fillers or you can do the same without the oats but with cream of rice (will digest even easier) do that twice a day 1700kcals on top of your daily meals minimum and you can't go wrong

Crazy mate! On the few times I used them in the past within 45 mins of drinking one I'd be losing it by basically shitting water for the rest of the day so was totally useless haha.

You know me buddy still plodding along slowly pushing the weight up, grinding and enjoying this time of year with the wife and kids! I hope everything is good your end!

Merry Christmas and I hope 2025 is a great year for you and everyone you hold close!!

Whole milk - nature’s weight gainer.

Mikeyt84LINY's picture

Yes, might I add a little deliciousness to that please sir? .. i been making this. 2 scoops whey isolate, 16 ounces while milk, 1 banana, 4 tablespoons peanut butter, 3 big scoops butter pecan Ice cream.
But i was just mixing ice cream with whole milk. Lol. But i been getting creative.
And to this post. I doubt you'll find weight gainer that don't bloat you. They all do learned that by the time i was 18 and I'm 40. Pasta, rice, beef. Those are weight gainers. I wouldn't bother with those dextrose, maltodextrin concoctions. Garbage

The problem with weight gainer powders is they tend to use cheap, crappy protein in them that can be harder to digest and will make you feel bloated and gassy. If you look in the ingredients it will often include ones like Whey concentrate and milk proteins. If you are also lactose intolerant or just have trouble in general digesting dairy fat then they will make you feel nauseous too and unwilling to eat for hours afterwards. Your best bet is to make your own which is effectively what I do. Buy a bag of Whey Isolate or Hydrolysate and then get a bag of Dextrose (Glucose) powder and put in 50g of carbs in it. There are cheaper ways of doing it I'm sure but this is an easy and quick way of putting weight on. Guys will also add in other things such as Ice cream and bananas etc and make it with milk or just water.

Do you have any recomendations on certain Isolates? I do seem to become somewhat nauseated and bloated after my usual shakes, which after reading this i looked at the ingrediants and sure enough the first one was concentrate.

Lol.. dam press u know me bro. I swear i posted what i said above before i read your post lol.

Its when I hear of people NOT putting carbs into after training shakes that I wonder why wouldn't you? Protein isn't half as effective at building muscle with no carbs alongside it.

Mikeyt84LINY's picture

Yeah from my understanding protein synthesis doesn't start until glycogen stores are replenished.

Exactly bud, if you don't replenish those then your body is going to be in a deficit and ends up feeding off itself.

On the odd occasion that I end up oversleeping after a long session the day before and effectively miss a meal running a few hours over, I start to get this pinching sensation which I assume is my body breaking down muscle for energy. I always feel it in the areas I carry the most muscle like my chest and triceps close to the elbow. I then jump out of bed and get some glucose in me which stops it within a few minutes.

The Incredible thing is even ON Gold Standard uses Whey concentrate as part of its blend to increase its profit margins, you 'd assume that would be one of the best going.

Mikeyt84LINY's picture

There's actually this pretty cheap one. It's called now on Amazon. 92 bucks for 160 servings 24g and it's whey isolate, and soy lecithin.
