Gain Weight the Smart Way

Gaining weight requires that you increase the amount of calories you eat everyday. Doing this with regular foods quickly becomes monotonous, expensive, and difficult to do after a couple of days if not sooner. The best way to gain weight is to supplement your regular diet with a weight gain meal replacement powder. Choosing the best weight gain supplement is unfortunately more difficult than making and drinking the shakes. This article outlines the criteria to use when shopping for a weight gain meal replacement powder and includes a review of what we at Physicallyelite.com feel to be the best weight gainer on the market.

When shopping for a meal replacement powder there are many factors to consider. The each serving should provide more than the usual 250-300 calories per serving regular meal replacement powders provide. Second, the product must be low in simple sugars and high in quality proteins such as whey, casein, and egg. Fat content should not be overlooked since added fat helps to increase the calories of each shake. Also important is that the weight gain supplement you choose must be cost effective when compared to eating whole foods of equal caloric value and taste good since you will be drinking 2-3 shakes per day.

The meal replacement powder we recommend for gaining weight is Champion Nutrition Super Heavyweight Gainer. This product is an overachiever when compared to all other weight gain powders. Each shake provides 1200 calories per serving, consisting of 50 grams of protein, 100 grams of carbohydrate, and 29 grams of fat. You would have to eat two chicken breasts, three cups of pasta, and finish the meal off with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to get this amount of calories in the same protein, carbohydrate, fat ratio. Since you should be eating 5-6 meals per day, that's a lot of chicken, pasta, and peanut butter and way to much time in the kitchen! Unlike whole foods where the quality and type of protein, carbohydrate, and fat varies, each serving of Super Heavyweight Gainer provides you with a blend of whey and egg protein to help you build muscle, a proprietary, low sugar carbohydrate source that doesn't produce fluctuations in energy levels, and a blend of fats that includes the omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids.
