Today we’ll start with the basics of weight gaining. We’ll cover the question — what exactly are weight gainers?

Weight gainers are basically meal replacement supplements with higher amounts of calories. Much like meal replacements, it’s pretty easy to find those that contain a mix of good quality protein, carbs, and acceptable fat content. The most popular weight gainers today are those that when mixed with 16 ox of water give you near 1,000 calories per serving.

You should be aware of some weight gainers. Much like the old days, there are still supplements going around that are composed completely of sugar and fat contents. Read labels so you can be sure of what you’re purchasing.
