Iv tryed a numerous of them and cant seem to gain a good amount of muscle and weight. Whos taking a weight gainer and how is it effecting you? Please add serving sizes and how many ties a day you take it and when. Thanks!!
Weight gainers aren’t magic, they’re just a convenient, and all to often crappy, source of calories and macronutrients.
If you find that you aren’t “getting results” from your weight gainer, you simply are not eating enough in the first place.
50g whey and 50g oats is my weight gainer. To much unnecessary products I hear in the other ones.
You say you’re not getting results, post your diet.
Gallon of milk.

Yup, me as well. Mix that (with the PB) in 500 mL of whole milk. Damn tasty and packed with calories.

Same.
I tried gainer shakes last year quite a bit but finally realized that I needed more overall intake of calories. Since I jumped my daily intake from 5200-5500 to 6200-6500 the lbs have started to come again, finally, and cheaper than drinking $3 shakes all day long.

This is your problem.
Your gains will be limited until you learn how to eat to support muscle growth.

Why are you bothering with a weight gainer shake when your eating stuff like egg whites instead of whole eggs? What exactly is the 2 meals before bed?
Eat all 6 eggs in the morning and you won’t have to worry about the weight gainer. Add peanut butter or a banana to each protein shake in addition to this and you’ll be gaining without needing a weight gainer.

LOL
One, eat the whole damn egg.
Two, have you tried “Weight Gainer 4000”? I knew a guy that got totally ripped in two days using this. He was tired of being a 90lbs weaklin and needed to get in shape to meet Kathie Lee Gifford.
2nd, 3rd, 4th, trillionth eating the whole egg. Nature made it, Nature knows more than you do, eat it all. Secondly, Steaks. Eat them. Ground beef if money is a problem. Red meat is more calorie dense than chicken and other white meats. I eat a lot of chicken myself, but I try to get a lot of red meat in my diet as well. Oils also pack a lot of calories with little volume. If you are truly “bulking” you can get away with a lot more fats in your diet to really ramp up the calories. Get a good mix of Sat, Mono and poly.
Eat bacon with your eggs, loads of olive oil and some vinegar on your salads. Mix your tuna with mayo and olive oil. A little extra oils and fats here and there along with increasing your red meat intake can add 1000 calories per day without adding too much discomfort from being overly full all the time. I buy pre-vacuum packed NY strip steaks at BJ’s for @$6 per lb. Thats pretty cheap for one of the best grilling cuts of meat on the planet. Don’t overcook it. Medium High heat on the grill, let it preheat, 5 minutes on one side 4 minutes after the flip, take it off and let it sit for 5 mins. Foolproof medium rare deliciousness. If you learn to cook your food so it tastes amazing, you will eat more naturally. Learn to cook and cook well.

Can of coconut milk = ~800 calories. Also very healthy. Add it to your shakes.
Everyone else has great suggestions too; just don’t take weight gainers, pathetic quality compared to actual food.

Does this really need to be asked?
That’s a rhetorical question, by the way.
