I bought a 2lb tub of whey protein from Walmart and its gone in a couple of weeks. But what I really need to do is put on another 15lbs or so (I've put on 5lbs since I've started lifting and using that 2lb tub, so I'm about 130lbs now) then I think I would be more average/healthy for my height of 5'8".
I've always had a hella time gaining weight, in fact I never do. Either way I don't have enough of an appetite to consume enough calories than what I burn. Thats why I dont gain weight I'd guess. I just haven't been hungry enough to eat a ton (and weed doesn't give me the munchies anymore, not that I gained weight when I pigged out anyway). And when I think I'm getting a fair amount of calories I look and its like 400 maybe for a whole meal. I eat a fair amount of fast food, never once do I worry about what I eat (though its rarely junk food), drink a lot of regular pop, lots of regular beer
, etc.
I bought the 2lb tub of whey protein as sort of a start/experiment, but now I think I need a bigass tub of actual weight gainer. After that hopefully I will be up 15lbs or so then I will go back to whey protein and concentrate more on lifting and building muscle.
So there's the back story. I need a cheap tub!
How is this one?
My whey protein had 20g per scoop/serving, and I did 2 scoops 2x a day. But this Ultimate Nutrition Whey Gainer needs 4 scoops. Is that gonna be a lot of powder to down? I heard some people having trouble powering a protein shake, but I did it just fine. But it seems the actual gainer powders have about 2x the scoop. Though the 628 cals per serving is right down my alley!
Do I want one with like 20% fat, 20% carbs, 60 % protein? Some sort of ratio? I'm not worried about fat really, just cause I'm so skinny anyway and my metabolism is very fast.
Please give recommendations. My roommate who is fvcking intense about lifting/supplements to say the least says Optimum Nutrition is good stuff, but its a bit pricey for me. I'm not as serious about it as him.
I'm hoping to keep it around $25-30 for a 7-10 lb tub.
