Gaining

Okay,

Surely after all the time FantasyFeeder has been around and all the time we've had to share and collaborate on gaining...

Surely, someone among us has found the most effective and palatable daily weight gain shake.

Boost? Heavy cream? A particular brand of mass gainer?

What daily supplement or shake recipe has ACTUALLY made a difference for you in your own gains?

Extreme feeder here. I've tried out a number of shakes with the feedees I've had. I don't use them anymore because I find food works so much better. Not only is food more cost effective, but it's easier to fatten up a feedee with delicious food long term. The shakes are better for short-term rapid gains.

I know regular food is better but I just so love chugging lol

That's fine. But if you love chugging so much, then add some variety in there. Smoothies, juice, fancy coffee. You can even go ham on lots of soup. It's good capacity training, and it will keep you warm on those cold winter nights.

for a good soup i recommend vegetable broth and miso paste.

Exactly! Shakes are great but only for short terms. Doing it on regular basis will be damaging your body for sure.

But if one were to use shakes, what is a great recipe to maximise calorie intake?

My favourite go-to is 300ml double cream + 300ml single cream + a box of brownie mix.

If you’re in the US use enough heavy whipping cream to make the mix chug-able!

Sometimes eating is exhausting - adding a shake to your day (or several days a week) for a few weeks is a great low-effort way to get those extra calories in!

Damn, what is your diet if eating is exhausting.

Hiya, me again. I’ve relied on heavy cream and gainer shakes for the last 10 years as I’ve gained over 150lbs., and recently I’ve been reminded how much I’ve learned about this very topic (after spending a week a week incorporating various amounts of heavy/double cream into my daily diet for the first time in a long time).

I’m older so I’ve been keeping my blood sugar, therefore the GIs of my ingredients. What this has reminded me of is that if you can make a liquid you enjoy drinking, you can drink it and get fat with a fuckton of cream.

I’ve been making almond butter smoothies with agave and milk - add 600ml double cream for 4 days over a week (or more/faster) and I can all but guarantee you’ll wake up feeling puffy all over.

You don’t have to have a ton all in one go, but I do suspect punching your body with a brick load of calories is part of why this works. I find 300ml+mixer drinks are easy to get down, whereas 600ml+ tend to be more of a challenge.

Start small and work your way up to what feels right, and do it as often as you can for a couple weeks. Make sure to eat enough nutrients from other food as well!

Highest calorie mixers are brownie/cake mixes and nut butters. The easiest ones are store bought fruit smoothies (Innocent, atm), melted ice cream and flavoured milk.

I think it’s obvious that if you’re drinking heavy cream you’re doing it because you need to be fatter NOW. For this goal, heavy cream is the only true answer I know. I hope this info helps you enjoy the results as much as i have!
