BF2S Forums mass gainer... Good or not?

How old are you?

Why can no one be natural anymore?

Short answer: No

Explanation: Unless you are severely insecure or play football, protein will only serve you to make you fatter, as you will probably not burn the excess off enough to sculpt your muscles.

Instead, after you workout, have a turkey sandwich, banana and a multivitamin. That way your body adsorbs everything better

Check me out, yo.

I agree

Pasta is also good.

If you are always hungry then eat hearty meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For me I am trying to put on a bit of weight (about 10 pounds) and I was told by some people to take that shit and some people told me not to, about 50/50. Personally I feel really good when I eat heavier foods. I am not as tired as I used to be and seem to have more energy.

Then you're still young enough that you shouldn't need that junk. Just eat a lot of protein based foods, like chicken, fish, nuts, etc.

Chicken.

Eat a lot of it, its delicious.


Get protein mix, something like 40g should serve you well...

Dont eat like 30 10g protein bars, that will make you fat.

really poor advice there.  Protein poweders are natural, whey is dervied from the cheese making process.  As Wah points out its strictly a supplement to be used at the right time to ensure protein is rapidly absorbed i.e. post workout when the body is crying out for protein.  Any other time protein first and foremost should be gained from chicken, fish, beef etc

They will make him fat if he doesn't provide the necessary foundation for the protein to be utilised by his body, i.e. working out. If he just drinks a protien shake to gain mass without working out then he's just taking on extra calories.

Hows this sound;

Eat healthy, and work out well


No added ingredients needed

When I saw the topic title this is what I thought it was about:

Right now I'm on protein and after just 2 weeks of taking it can already notice a difference which is pretty crazy. I was and, tbh, still am critical to taking it because of the artificial compounds that are added and the potential extra weight gain that could arise but after seeing that it works I'm going to continue for a little while longer. What stryyker said is true: that you gain extra weight because the protein turns to fat. However, that's probably only going to happen if you do as the instructions say and take it twice a day.

I started the gym a few months... I go there 3 or 4 times per week. And now i'm thinking about taking protein. Honestly im always hungry since i started going to the gym.



Someone told me that I should take mass gainer... Is it good or not?

Exactly.Your body doesn't care from where you get your protein.Your muscles will not grow without supplements.Workout regularly,drink protein,creatine,vitamins(fruit,veggies).I think protein reduces your calcium level so you must regenerate it by drinking milk or taking calcium pills.
It doesn't matter how many calories you enter in your system,just be sure you burn them all.

Exactly not ... when protein is taken out of it's natural source it behaves very differently and the body reacts differently to pure protein that it does with the same amount of protein in it's natural source ...

People with an education in this says it is very important to check out the products thoroughly before you start using them ...
