I was thinking of adding mass gainer post workout but noticed its high in cholesterol (45g) though the saturated fat (1.5g) seems low. I’m trying to eat as clean as possible. Any thoughts?
The maltodextrin content is more what I would be concerned with. Most gainers are just cheap carbs and low quality protein.
Dude if you’re trying to eat clean, mass gainer should be the last thing on your mind. Most of them are filled with low-quality ingredients, tons of added sugars, artificial flavors, and oils just to bump up the calorie count. Some have as much sugar as a soda - definitely not ideal post-workout if you’re aiming to stay healthy. You’re better off making your own gainer using oats, nut butter, banana, whey protein, and milk. That way you control the quality of what you’re putting in your body while still getting the calories you need.
