[whiteknucks]

anyone here ever use weight gain shakes or cyto gain to get extra calories?
im having trouble eating enough working 12 hour days and i cant have a cooler at work to just dip into. im sure the stuff tastes like garbage but if it works then id like to hear your stories, also for those who think its a waste of money, please speak up

I've tried many different recipes for weight gainer shakes. Like the previous posters have said, you can make healthier, and much cheaper, shakes on your own. Vanilla protein with natural peanut butter, carbo gain, and a little cinnamon is great for me.

in your situation i think shakes are a great idea to get those extra calories in if you cant eat them. id look into making your own though over the store bought weight gainer shakes. if it is an issue however i dont see it being that big of a deal, i add LBA's BCAA's and creatine to mine.

u can make ur own shake with 1200 calories? if u have any recipes please show me! the carbo gain sounds like a good idea. i had never heard of that before. i figured making my own shake with that many cals. would end up being like a gallon of whole milk with tons of other stuff in it also

1 cup oatmeal
1 cup vanilla fat free frozen yogurt or reduced fat ice cream

Blend well and drink down..

I was in the same boat as you working 10-16 hour days and trying to keep my diet in check the gnc brand xxx mass worked great for me i switched my afternoon protein shake for a calorie shake ( wich i believe is around 900 calories and 54 g protein) Ive also tried experimenting with taking one of those before bed but it gave me a tire around my belly so back to just whey and casein but if i start pounding the hours at work again i will be useing the xxxmass shakes again only as a afternoon shake sub though I try to pack either a egg or a salad and a chicken breast and some brown rice if you have access to a microwave as my 2 solid meals for the work day aswell
