oh god man i dunno about that one...check out CYTOGAINER! man it has 86 grams of complex carbs 5 grams of fat and 50 grams of protein per serving...seems like a better choice for a lean bulker in my opinion.
I bulked for about 6 months straight and i honestly gained minimal fat, and i had up your MASS by mhp two times a day for those six months sometimes 3 times a day...it only has 1g of sugar...11g of fat (efa's)...58g of carbs 12g fiber...46g protein....510 calories...worked well for me
love to see the rest of your meals....Quote:

Like i said i did this for about 6 months and ilast year my abs came in real good around 205 lbs this year i looked really good at 225 and it only took me about 7 weeks of good dieting and cardio to get there
last year I had this weight gainer and I really didnt like the way it effected me....... I will start my cycle normal with no weight gainer..... and then I ll see........
The problem is that I do not know if I am taking enough carbs and calories to get to 80kg from 76kg

someone help me out here! pls
do would you include a weight gainer or not...
pls reply
anyone!!!!!
are you gaining weight on that diet? how tall are you? activity level? if you wanna know how many carbs and cals your diet is...go to fitday.com
just from your height and weight i would estimate you need around 3200-3500 cals a day to gain weight. i dont know your age though...thats just a guess. if you are gaining weight on your current diet then you dont need a weight gainer. otherwise you can incorporate one or two in a day, depending on your results. no one can tell you exactly what to do, you will have to figure out how your body works and what it responds to..
thanks..... I am 23..... ok i will start with no weight gainer than if i see that I am not gaining enough weight i will add it later on...
what kind of cycle are you running?
I'd probably incorporate some weight gainer in there, just to get the extra cals your body needs so that the compounds you're taking will be most effective. Don't worry about a little extra gain during cycle, you'll work it off after, and retain muscle.
my cycle is
1-13 test e - 500mg/week
1-11 Eq - 400mg/week
1-10 tren : 200mg/week
That is what I will do.... 1 serving for breakfast and another serving PWO of weight gainer
dont need it bro..just add more food...1/2 cup oats???? you could triple that amt......
I agree just eat you ass off with whole foods. You can get the cals in for sure. I'd say to shoot for about 3,900 - 4,000 and see what happens after a week. You will know whether or not to up the cals or drop them a bit depending on if you notice any fat gain.Quote:

Do you think that I should only take the NLarge2 after my workout?? or int the morning too?? it has 600kcals, 50g pro 85 carbs, 5g fat per serving
Add it in both meals if you need to cals, but I'd only have it with breakfast if I was also eating some solid food. You need solid food for breakfast.
id use it as my PWO in addition to a few more simple carbs (banana, some strawberries--whatever flavor your shake would go good with) to make it 100g carbs totalQuote:

whole foods make for a good start each day IMO
its optimal for post workout shake but for breakfast NO...all the carbs in Nlarge2 are fast digesting and simple carbs...you need slow digesting carbs for breakfast.
Yep.... I am having eggs, normal pro shake and 1 cup oats for breakfast..... then I leave the Nlarge2 for PWO only + banana
