Best time of day to have weight gain shake?

[eyeothetiger]

Hi guys, I have a nice recipe for a weight gain shake that I will be preparing at home. Bearing in mind I train at 9am and hit the sack at midnight, what time of day am I best to have the weight gain shake?. A few hours after training or last thing at night?

Depends on what's in ur shake and where it fits into ur macros...

Agreed. In general though, i'd go with bedtime. Unless it contains a ridiculous amount of fats and carbs. Refer back to Tron's post, lol.

Like said above..depends. I would say Post workout is the only time I prefer ANY shake. Otherwise real food!

I assumed "preparing it at home" means real food. Doesn't sound like he's using a 'canned' weight gain shake/powder. Hopefully not. I have a helluva shake I use, which is really easy to add/remove calories/macros if desired.

i useto have mine in the morning as soon as i woke up because i would have to rush out to work at 6 am and making breakfast was a pain in the arse : ) it was great because even tho it had ridiculous amounts of calories it would never really fill me up so by 8 or 9 am i would be ready for meal 2
