Weight gainer

My current diet is only giving me 3000+ calories, and since I'm seriously bulking at the moment, that just wont do the job.

I'm finding it impossible to bump those calories up. Not because I can't eat more, hell, I'm always hungry, 10 min after having a HUGE meal, I want more food. It's because it's costing WAYYY too much money.

Saying that, would it be a good idea for me to be using a weight gainer? To take after a workout, that will supply me with 2000 calories. Bumping my intake up to 5000 a day, just a little over my goal (4500).
 
have you priced out any quality weight gainers, i dont think youll be saving any money. Do a price per calorie comparison before you buy but im pretty sure there are plenty cheaper ways to get the calories. Most weight gainers say they have 1000-2000 calorie per serving but it takes 5 scoops to get that. I've never purchased any before so im not sure exactly. But i would definately looka round the supermarket for a cheaper way to get calories.
 
They're about $30-50. I've had one before, they last nearly a month, if not more. So all in all, you do save money, even though they are exremely overpriced.

For time I need one too, latetly all I've had time to do is cook...
 
yeah, i mean, sometimes a higher price is worth the convenience. If you are short on time, and have a busy life, then a few extra bucks for some weight gainer that's quicker and easier would be worth it.
 
check out this page

it shows the price per 100 calories of all the major weight gainers. You are looking at about on average 20 cents per 100 calories for a decent quality weight gainer.

dry roasted peanuts are on average about 7 cents per 100 calories.

Just an example of how its cheaper to look to food. Bring a calculator with you to the grocery store next time you go.
 
Loads of fire you could start trying to get CARBS such as grains, pasta, etc. around the time when you sleep because if they aren't burned they are stored as fat. I just thought of that myself not sure if it will work.
