I figured i would go ahead and make this thread b/c soon or a later someone is going to be asking about a weight gainer and which one is the best.

Now for ppl looking to gain weight a weight gainer can be very beneficial. I used to use one all the time and still use one every now and then. I'm gonna be honest. Most store bought gainers are crap!!! They are loaded with tons of sugar(maltodextrin) and pretty expensive with most of them only lasting 10-15 days at the recommended servings. If you HAVE to have a store bought gainer try and use only half the servings at one time. Example: N large 2 recommended serving size is 4 scoops, well try to take 2 scoops a serving and it will cut down on the sugar and can help make it last a little longer.

The best gainer you can take is one you can make yourself. It's very simple and is alot better nutritional wise, taste wise, and money wise. Here's a sample recipe

2 scoops of protien powder(your choice of brand and flavor. I use ON's 100% whey choco or mint choco)
8-16 oz of milk(whole, skim, 2%, your choice depending on how many calories you want or need)
1-2 tblspoons of natty(natural) peanut butter(you can use jiffy or peterpan but natural is alot better for you)
1/2 cup of fruit(a banana, strawberry's, blueberries, or any other fruit you want for flavoring)
Throw in some ice cubes and then blend

You can also throw some olive oil in for the good fats and extra cals, Oatmeal, fat free ice cream, etc.

Remember this gainer isnt set in stone and you can use a lot of ideas. Be creative and you will be surprised what you will come up with and how good it taste
