Are there any advantages of mass gainers over protein shakes?

>>41126796
dunno what your're talking about, I got 4kg of mass gainer for 40 euros, while earlier I bought 2kg of protein powder for 30

Mass gainers are meme because they are just full of cheap shit. Make your own with whey isolate and oats.

It's expensive here http://sg.fitlion.com/cat/mass-gainer

prepping your own meals will always be healthier and cheaper than buying some meal replacement or weight gainer shake.
No one on here really recommends them anyway.

>I was thinking of just buying normal whey protein, and blending it with oats, and maybe peanut butter.

Sounds like a decent idea

This might sound embrassing but how do I actually make a protein shake? Do I literally just throw water, protein powder and oats(without cooking them) and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the blender and press blend?

Yeah, pretty much. Or milk

I'm lactose intolerant which is why I can't drink milk, so I guess water will have to do for now.

Just get regular Whey Concentrate or Isolate, don't get memed on. What you really need to be doing to gain mass is just eating more in general. Eat eat eat.

The problem isn't so much with eat, but rather the cost of it..

I'm a poorfag and I'm basically trying to find something that has at least 700 calories under $4.

gallon of milk + lactaid

700kcal for <4$ is merely >175kcal/$ which is absolute shit in cost-efficiency. There are foods that have >2000kcal/$. If it doesn't have to be something that requires zero preparation, then oats, rice and pasta are your friend for pure calories. If you're in the US, then this should be relevant to you:

Mass gainers are not cost-effective. Like all bullshit brand products, they are way overpriced. You should be able to get 3000kcal per day for less than 5$, including 1.8g of protein per kg of bodyweight. Get your micros for a multivitamin and omega-3 from fish oil caps. I spend 3.15-3.50€ on food and micronutrient supps per day including creatine.

Blend the raw oats to a powder before adding the other ingredients. Otherwise the whole oats will make your shake quite lumpy.

Fellow sinkie ex skele here. Don't buy from these local sites. They started out cheap and now they're big they get more ex.

Go to myprotein instead. They ship free to sg aBove $100. You can do this bro, I went from 45kg to 75kg. Still recovering from skeleton mode.

Hey bro, I checked out the site but apparently it's even more expensive?!

Anyway that's good for you. I started off at 56, currently at 59 now. Feels bad knowing I'm always the smallest guy in the gym.
