A mass gainer is a high-calorie dietary supplement
designed to help individuals—particularly "hard gainers" with fast
metabolisms—increase their daily caloric intake to support muscle mass and
weight gain. It typically features a high carbohydrate-to-protein ratio (often
3:1), supplying 600 to 1200+ calories per serving to foster a caloric surplus.
Description
Purpose: To promote rapid weight gain and muscle
bulk for those struggling to gain weight through food alone.
Composition: A blend of carbohydrates (usually
maltodextrin), proteins (whey, casein), and sometimes healthy fats.
Key Features: High-calorie, high-carbohydrate,
contains vitamins/minerals, and sometimes added creatine.
Vs. Protein Powder: Mass gainers have significantly
more carbs and calories than standard whey protein, which focuses primarily on
lean muscle repair.
Usage (Short)
When to Take:
Post-Workout: Best time to replenish energy
(glycogen) and aid muscle recovery.
Between Meals: To increase daily calorie intake
without feeling too full.
Morning: To jumpstart calorie intake after fasting.
How to Take: Mix 1–2 scoops (100-150gm ) with water
or milk (milk adds more calories).
Key Tip: Pair with consistent, intense resistance
training to ensure gains are muscle, not just fat.
