Need help with supplement.

[musclestack]

Hey, fellas. Right now I'm taking Pro Complex and GNC's ProPerformance Weight Gainer 2200. And any of you who have taken that weight gainer (or any other weight gainer, that I know of) know that it only lasts like a week at most. I use a lot of supplements due to my job and going to school; just comes in really handy when you're pushed for time. But Daaaammnn, it gets really expensive spending $40.00 a week at GNC.

Does anyone know of a supplement out there that I can get around the same amount of calories and protein as the 2 supplements that I'm taking right now provide??? And one that will last a bit longer???

Oh, almost forgot. I mix these 2 supplements together 3 times/day. Each serving, I'm getting around 700 calories and 87 grams of protein. So, can anyone help me out with a different supplement that I don't know of???

Thanks a lot, guys,
MS

geez thats a ton of $ to spend on that. what about buying bulk food?

[musclestack]

Yea, but being a full-time student and working all the time (5 days a week), supplements come in SO handy. And I want to make sure that I get ALL the calories, protein, and other nutrients that I need.

Anyone???

Eh, I'm not a fan of supplements. I would rather eat my nutrients.

I'm very budget concience when it comes to buying food as well. The best thing I ever did was buy a Costco membership [although BJ's work just as good].

Peanut Butter sandwhiches, cans of tuna, fat-free yogurt, cottage cheese, chick peas, almonds and other stuff like that are really easy to carry around with you and if you buy them at a bulk food place, you're going to spend a lot less than $40 a week.

Id just stick with a whey protein, and than eat it with other calorie dense foods. Peanuts, Peanut Butter, bagels, etc.
