Best protein powder for weight gain?

[StrawberryShake]

I don't know if protein powder was the correct term, but you know what I mean. Mass builder or whatever, but NOT for muscle.

They are called gainers but I can't recommend any of them.
They are usually full of simple carbs such as maltodextrin, corn and potato starch.
It's super unhealthy stuff that's worse for you than straight candy.
Honestly, even eating Nutella straight out of the jar is better for you at that point.

For weight gain I'd recommend healthy fats such as peanut butter, avocados or even dark chocolate.
You can also add more calories to your food with olive/flaxseed/avocado oil, butter or condiments such as extra mayo.

Fats are calorie dense, so they usually add up quickly.
600 kcal in peanut butter is just a few teaspoons, for example.

Hmm. It may take a bit longer, but a more traditional Italian diet.
Do you know what that looks like?

[StrawberryShake]

Spaghetti and more spaghetti!! Lol jokes aside I don't know, what does it look like?

[Grond21]

It's very natural. So lots of natural pastas and meats, good cheeses and vegetables.

Also, here's some other things for you

if you have weight issues you better go to a dietitian

[StrawberryShake]

I never said I had weight issues. Stop assuming shit and answer the question or don't comment in the first place.

I often think you can just make your own weight gain shakes at home with really calorie-dense foods. Peanut butter is extremely dense, for example, along with coconut flakes, ice cream, full-fat yogurt. You can just add regular whey protein if you want to amp up the protein but you can blast up the calories quite quickly and especially with fats.

Thanks!

Cheers! There's a list of recipes here along with suggestions for weight gain powders (I tend to think they're unnecessary though):

The main thing I'd look for with these recipes is to try to find a shake that gives you a lot of calories but without making you feel so full so that you can still have the appetite to eat regular meals on top. Also, try to keep the refined carbs and sugar intake low for your health. Try to get the calories more from complex carbs high in fiber along with proteins and fats.

Also outside of shakes, a single bag of unsalted peanuts or almonds or mixed nuts can have 800+ calories. If you're like me, it's easy to eat the whole bag in one sitting and still have room left over in our appetite for our next meal. Scrambled eggs can also be really easy to consume and cheap for extra calories and you can really amp up the calories if you add heavy cream instead of milk.

Thank you!!

You have to buy crash weight gain at your local health food store like the vitamin Shoppe

Personally I don’t think you need to look big when you get older you will automatically get bigger I want you to be a very healthy girl

[CloudMassacre]

Sometime I’m going to try out those powdered up bugs

There's no best protein powder. Only protein shake. And you gotta shake it out of the snake yourself.

Why not for muscle?

[StrawberryShake]

I don't feel like explaining myself.

[Reijen]

Good enough.
