Cytogainer and L-glutamine HELP

it sounds like Cytogainer is 4 scoops to a serving. That sounds about right for a 'gainer' product. There's more than protein in there. A protein powder is usually 1 scoop = 25g of protein (on average), but there's almost no carbs.
Gainers are loaded with carbs, which takes up volume, so you need more scoops to still get your 25g of protein, plus probably 40g of carbs.
L-glutamine doesn't really work like the marketing ads claim. don't buy it again.

The OP could sure do with some paragraphs in his statement. The 6 lb cytogainer has 18 servings of 4 scoops each serving. If you take it 3 times a day it will only last you 6 days rather than 18 days. Are you eating enough? Read the stickies in the nutrition section.
Personally a weight-gainer would be a "waste", as you take 600 calories post workout and your protein requirements are not met (you need 2 grams of protein per kg of bodyweight). If you had 5 or 6 small meals a day with protein/complex carbs and healthy fats, you are much better off than the guy on a weight-gainer laden with sugar who may not be getting the protein he needs.

Weight gainers are such a waste of money!!!
your paying the same price for 1/2 the amoun of protein (or less) and you use it up twice as fast.
Buy a good protein powder.
it should be 75%protein or more.
If you really need the carbs then order a bag of waxy mase or dextrose. that will cost you about £2.50 a kg, or $5 for 2lbs. (ish)
then you can just add the carb sugar powder to your protein shake if you need it.
but its much better to get your carbs and protein from food if you can. Dont treat your shakes like a meal replacement. they are 'suppliments'.
