Try mixing oatmeal, whey, and natural peanut butter twice per day. Quality food, good protein, nice calories. You know what is in it. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

An MRP could be 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1-2 scoops whey protein or one scoop whey and 1/2 cup cottage cheese, and if fats are needed, 1 tbsp. of flax, or 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter. For gaining, a good option is to double the above, and add 2-4 tbsp. of heavy cream. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

Oatmeal, peanut butter, 100% whey powder are a GREAT concoction- and you can adjust it to your taste. the ONLY premixed gainer I have tried and liked was ProLabs N-Large. 600 Calories and 52g protien per serving- but again- it doesnt beat doing it yourself and KNOWING exactly whats in it. I still use N-Large right before bed actually.

I am trying to "bulk up" without adding fat myself. I eat 5-6 times a day, or try to anyway, or eat 3-4 times a day, and get a MRP(i like prolab's nlarge2) and use it once/twice a day...I did this, I gained about 10 pounds this summer doing this plus lifting weights, make sure you eat healthy foods, high in protein, low in carbs...especially protein if you want to add muscle.....good luck...
