Gaining

In the past I've used Double Cream as a way to try and help gain, especially where I work retail and my shifts are all over the place, however, due to some IRL changes I won't go into this has become less viable.

So now I'm wondering whether something like flavoured weight gain powder with water could be a viable alternative?

To be clear, I know NOTHING about these beyond some health conscious people I know who actually enjoy going to the gym use the stuff.

Thank you.

Hi
These weight gain powders are a good addition.

But they are usually many maltodextrin with some protein quite expensive.

The ideal combination for gaining weight would be a combination of fat and a fast carbohydrate.

So for a proper weight gain shake you need a fat source of some kind.

- heavy cream ist good, but also any kind of nut butter works as well.
To much fat will slow your digestion and make u feel full fast.
So don’t go over 60g of fat
—> 200ml of heavy cream
—> 100g of penutbutter

Than you need a fast carb source
Sugar, maltodextrin and fructose

Maltodextrin is far less sweet
So 60-90g of maltodextrin
(U can find it on Amazone and it is quite cheap 2kg come at 10-15€)
Plus some sugar

Than you need to make sure u like the texture. So add what u like milk is the miste common and works perfect.

Last past is the flavour:
There are flavour powders oder protein powders (make sure to use pure whey there should be no casein added because it fills u up more)
Fruits
Coffee
Caco

What ever u like just change it up and try some variations

With that combination each shake Hase around 1000kalories
Is easy to consume and u can add them in between meals.
