I decided to stick with the N Large through May. Then I wll switch to a lower calorie whey shake as I will begin a cutting phase in June. I have seen great results with the N Large and now that V12 is in the picture, my gains are amazing ~22.5lbs of weight since 1/10/04.

Only issue is I stetched a tendon in my shoulder and have to lighten up on the weights until it heals. I've been doing rotator cuff exercises and using ice 2x's a day for 20mins.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I would suggest sticking to the protein powder. Although it might be a good idea to counter it with some carbs. Depends on what your goals are. I just usually drink a 100% whey protein shake after my workout and if I am still hungry, and to boost up my caloric intake, I eat a protein bar.

If you want to switch to a regular protein you can just do this and it will give you all the calories+more.

Protein shake:

2 scoops whey
2 servings milk
1 or 2 globs of peanut butter
and blend

The whey is 120 calories per scoop(240). My 2% milk is 140 per serving (280). And my peanut butter is 190 calories per serving (380). And you can add a banana for vitamins. Totals out to something like 70 grams of protein.

I've used several different protein supplements over the years, and now use LA Whey - have done for the last couple of years now.

It's high protein and fairly low carbs. It mixes well (though I always use a blender) and tastes good (8 different flavours now I think).

you gain weight by consuming more calories than you expend.

if you drop the gainer and just do protein, you'll be dropping calories. can you afford this?

N Large II is good quality and will work, but I don't like the taste. I like Cytogainer because it tastes great and mixes easy. I think their Rocky Road flavor is the best.

Depends what your goals are. If you need the calories, then stay with the weight gainer....

I am currently taking ProLab's N Large 2. I take 2scoops w/8oz milk bringing in 34grams of protein and 450 calories per drink.

I am debating if I should change to a regular protein drink like Optimum Whey or something of that nature.
I have gained great weight but would the those protein mixes help me gain weight and mass or should I stick to having high calories? Suggestions?
