I'm trying to gain some weight and I decided to head down to GNC. To my surprise, I nearly threw up after gulping down their meal replacement products....Any recommendation for meal replacement?

These type of products taste bad. I guess they assume you will put up with bad taste if you think it is good for you...

optimum nutrition whey protein tastes a whole lot better than GNC. GNC is overpriced crap actually

MRE's shouldnt be used to gain weight... but if you're looking for a good one, Myoplex is pretty decent. The chocolate lover's pack is yummy.

myoplex does taste good and metrx tastes good too. never tried gnc because it's barely any cheaper than the rest of them and has ugly containers ;) Myoplex I'll warn you uses about a kilo of artificial sweetners per pack - or at least tastes that way, but they are good. Metrx is always my favorite.

I know that GNC's Strawberry whey protein tastes like pepto bismol.

I use GNC's vanilla whey protein and it's not bad. I tried the strawberry and chocolate flavors, and they were terrible.

Don't buy GNC. If you have a Vitamin World or a Freshlife nearby, buy there. GNC products aren't any good - their herbal/vitamin products have the nutritional value of wood. Or if you're going to buy at GNC, don't get GNC brand.

Yea the strawberry tastes pretty bad. If you mix it with some sugar and milk it improves the taste a lot more than if you just mix it with water but it still takes a bit to get used to.

Buying your protein/weight supplements at GNC is like buying computer parts at CompUSA for retail price. Go online and buy them from there.
