How to Create the Best Weight Gainer for Your Needs

By Ricardo d Argence

It is known that buying weight gainers can become very expensive. If you are underweight and wanting to amass some weight, you can make your own. It is very important that you have a full understanding of the nutritional information and finding out exactly what you need to know so that you can gain the correct amount of weight.

You can buy weight gainers at nutrition or supplement shops. They usually have a picture of a bodybuilder or an arm full of muscle mass. Weight gainers serve the purpose of letting the person gain weight to achieve a level of muscle mass that is desirable.

Realize that different people need differently-designed weight gainers. For example, a bodybuilder has the weight they want but they are working for more muscle mass to what they already have. Skinny people need to be aware that they must add meat to their body and then they may build muscle mass.

Creating your own weight gainer is a pracitcal solution and may even save you some money. This is simple and probably best for your body afterall. Protein along with the quality of the protein are both very important when it comes to weight gainers as some weight gainers have a higher quality protein than others do.

Isolate whey powder typically has the best ranking while plain whey powder ranks lower. Soy is even lower than the two. This is in terms of the quality of the protein. A very high quality protein you might consider adding to your weight gainer is Casein, this product is best for slowly digesting and not for rapid consumption.

The most crucial thing you need to break down and look at when you design your own weight gainer is the carbohydrate breakdown. The primary source of your carbs need to come directly from maltodextrin it will refill your muscle glycogen stores most efficiently.

If a weight gainer has a large amount of fructose or any type of sugar, don't use it. It will only cause you to crash hard with fatigue, a headache, and possibly jitters, that's why you need to be sure the sugar content is as low as possible.

The most appropriate approach to gaining weigh fast without spending too much money is to make a weigh gainer by yourself at home. This is a really easy process you can do. You should mix only the finest quality proteins with maltodextrin. These can be found at your local vitamin or supplement shop and even a grocery store. When you are using raw oaks it is best to mix it with a shake so you can make you shake last longer and adding more calories to the drink.

One of the best times to drink your weight gaining shake is after your workout. You can add more calories and have a higher fat intake. Your body will slowly digest the shake so you get the nutrients to the muscles over a longer period of time. - 16650
