- You could try caffeine pills or expresso as an alternative to Monster if you need the energy
- I don't understand the science behind Sulfate vs Chondrointin vs MSM, but from my own personal experience I never got anything out of Glucosamine until I switched to Glucosamine Sulfate. I use 750mg 3x per day.
- Mass gainer powders have a lot of junk in them and it sounds like you already have tons of calories between the peanut butter and fruit and milk in the shake. Whole milk (homogenized) could also be an option if you aren't using it currently
- Easiest way to tackle nutrition is log everything. Makes it easy to track, adds accountability, and allows for easy adjustments. Upfront time investment is big but pays for itself in the long run. I'm old fashioned so I use pen and paper, but a lot of people will use Microsoft Excel or a cellphone app. It's not uncommon for people to eat 500-1000 calories less than what they think they are eating before tracking it.
- Sounds like your diet has moderate/high fat and moderate/high carbs and lower protein. I would add protein calories. Saturated fats (from Animals) are not the enemy, no need to stay away from them, just keep in moderation.
- There are multiple stickies in the diet and nutrition section of the forum. Give them a read. The most important of which is the TDEE thread.
