Post Heavyweight Gainer 900

I recently purchased this weightgainer, made by Champion Nutrition, on Netrition because after carefully looking over the weightgainers and the amount of servings, calories, carbs, protein, cost, etc I thought this one was the best. I'm 5'9" and 140lbs and my workout regimen is aimed at gaining muscle mass. Has anyone used this product or heard anything about it? Is there another product which is better than this product for my goals? All advice is appreciated.

-J

I don't have any exp. with that product but I have been using N-Large2 weight gainer/Protein with good results. I started at 150 about 6 weeks ago and now I am at 170 with good muscle growth. I can say that I have not put on "Fat" or "Water" weight. Very high in Protein for a weight gainer 52g per shake and 600 calories. If you take weight gainer and don't workout with good intensity then yes you will gain the "Fat" weight.
Good Luck and give us a review on your product for future help.

Champion - 29.95
Prolab - 19.95

Carbs Per Serving:
Champion - 103

Calories from carbs:
Champion- 412kcal or 65% of total
ProLab- 356Kcal or 57% of total

Calories from protein:
Champion- 140kcal or 22% of total
ProLab- 208Kcal or 34% of total

Which leaves about 13% of calories coming from fat from Champion and 7.5 - 8% of total calories coming from fat in ProLab.

Questions:
1. Are both Whey Protein? Any Idea how it's processed?
2. Any additives like Glutamine, etc?
3. Of the Carbs in each, how many are simple sugars?
(A bunch os sugar is not as valuable to those that wnat to increase their caloric intake unless they are purposely attempting to spike their insulin levels.)

It seems as though your best bet would be to finish the product that you have and then purchase a good whey protein to supplement protein intake and maintain a possitive nitrogen balance then if you desire to keep your Carb intake up, do it with good solid foods that have a low glycemic index. (If you are unsure about the glycemic index deal do a search on this site and you'll find out lots of info.) Not to many fruits and try to keep your daily caloric intake to about 40 - 45% Carbs and 40 - 45% Protein. Make sure you include some GOOD fats like fish oil, Flax or linseed oil or extra virgin Olive oil.
