Know your Supplements: Weight/Mass Gain supplements

Hello again,

In the world of fitness, healthy weight gain is usually a big concern. This is because, the more lean weight you pack, the more fats you burn and the stronger you get.
Weight gain is an increase in body weight. This can be either an increase in muscle mass, fat deposits, or excess fluids such as water.There are mainly two ways to gain lean weight,
1)eat extra nutritious food, with more protein per serving]
2) Add weight gain supplements to your normal diet

So, what of mass gain supplements? 
"If it helps you get the calories you need, drink it.There's nothing "unhealthy" about mass gainers. People say they're overpriced. Most agree real food is better. But if you've only had 1700 calories and you're looking to pick up and extra 550 without preparing a meal, sure: just mix up a mass gainer." ( source )

For an underweight person to build lean muscle, you will need extra calories, extra proteins and extra carbohydrates. You will also need to exercise - mainly circuit training/strength training. The extra nutrition can be achieved through an amplified diet. This may mean adding extra two meals to your regular meals and snacks. Increasing food intake is a progressive thing. You cannot go from three meals a day to five meals within a few days. Your digestive system will need to adapt to it, and you will have to factor in allergies and foods that make you want to throw up.

The other way is to simply add a mass gainer nutritional supplement to your diet. The mass gainer supplement is actually a nutritional complex similar to those found in health and grocery stores (like meal replacement shakes, lunch bars, vitamin shakes etc). The mass gainers, however, usually contain more protein and calories per serving, so one serving will top up your body with nutrients equivalent to one square meal. This is also cheaper, since it will cost a lot less to prepare the extra balanced 'meal', and time-saving too.
***NOTE: using mass gainers without exercise will cause you to gain fats. Your body will end up storing the proteins and calories as fats since it will not have an avenue to use them. Strength training is best since the body will be in an anabolic state much longer, hence effectively using the nutrients to build itself in readiness for the next session. If you will not exercise, DO NOT use mass gainers.

The main ingredients in most mass gainers are usually:

• whey protein
• casein proteins
• carbohydrates
• vitamins (basically the entire alphabet..)
• minerals
• creatine
• calories' boosters
