Nice ! I’ve been using pre made gainers this offseason to help get my calories in. And it seems to be digesting well. But I may try your gainers soon.No, I make my own shakes.
Postworkout:
Meal replacement (put this in the freezer for a pudding for lunch today):
- 2.75 servings ON hydro whey
- 1.5 sevings Karbolyn
- 16oz. Mott's apple juice
- 925 calories - 82.5g protein - 133g carb - 5.5g fat
Price probably comes out similar to a premade gainer but I prefer ingredients I know digest well.
- 2.75 servings ON hydro whey
- 2 servings Karbolyn
- 3 servings raw organic honey
- 1 serving almond butter
- 1,185 calories - 82.5g protein - 154g carb - 21.5g fat
Only whole foods I don’t drink shake’s ever even When I eat 1300g carbs dayly
no, I just think that if you can't go off season and you have to cram kcal shake, it's time to end the off season or make a mini-dietdo you think that liquid meals can have any negative consequences, even if they consist of fully valuable macronutrients?
I agree up to a certain point. There is a factor that needs to be considered and it's time. When at work for 8 hrs a day + 30 minutes of driving there and back I simply don't have time to eat 3 or ideally 4 times. Which is why I will bring 1 big solid meal and add 2 or 3 big shakes with cream of rice, liquid egg whites and whey isolate. A shake takes me 3 minutes, boss is fine with that.no, I just think that if you can't go off season and you have to cram kcal shake, it's time to end the off season or make a mini-diet
this situation is completely different and is completely understandable - I meant the moment when someone loses their appetite and tries to force calories into themselves by replacing food with shakesI agree up to a certain point.

I think the hunter is "one in a million" and no one should follow his examplethank you. Do you think what the offseason hunter did was not optimal?
I have used many but over the last 5-10 years I usually make my own. Although I haven't had one in ages but I am going to add one back in very soon. A very simple one for me is powdered oats with whey protein... simple but effective. If you get a blender you could add fruit to that and I used to do pineapple or kiwi with berries all the time with some oats. If you need extra calories then some almond/cashew butter or even dark chocolate or extra virgin olive oil. If standard oats don't digest well you could try gluten free oats or something else such as HBCD's, Karbolyn, Activated Barley or around training some organic honey or coconut sugar.
