How to take the gainer

Gainer takes to:

  1. To increase body weight
  2. To recover faster after workouts

As a rule, our daily food is sufficiently rich in carbohydrates. But the rhythm of modern life is such that many people eat irregularly and somehow. Therefore, to increase the weight and restore them just not enough calories. Gainer is designed to solve this problem, as it supplies proteins for muscle growth and carbohydrates for recovery.

How to buy

When buying a gainer, pay attention to the lack of sugar. The more – the worse for you. Sometimes manufacturers hide the truth and do not indicate the sugar content on packages. In this case, it is a sure sign of large amounts of sugar is that you start to become swollen after taking a gainer (a fart attack :-)).

Also pay attention to the amount of protein. The less protein, the more likely it is that the weight you will gain mostly at the expense of fat. And no one needs. Up to 15% protein is a bad gainer. 20% — 25% — normal. Above 25% is good. However, the less protein and more sugar the weight gainer cheaper. But don't be fooled.

How much to take

Like protein, weight gainer you need to drink every day same number. But, unlike protein, a lot to drink it is dangerous. Carbs are much easier to deposited in fat than protein. And if you are going to drink more than you need – you can just get really fat.

Thus, the number of reception gainer depends on body weight and how full you eat. The table below shows the consumption of the gainer based on these parameters.

How to take

Gainer mixed with water, milk or juice. The amount of liquid according to your taste. Do not disturb gainer in boiling water. Protein denatures in hot water and loses its properties.

The daily dose is better to divide into two parts. One to drink between Breakfast and lunch. The other immediately after your workout. Or after lunch if training is not. In General, the recommendations are the same as when taking protein.

Insights

Before buying a gainer read his composition. There is a risk that you can buy one solid sugar. I've seen instances where sugar accounted for 50%.

Don't drink it more than necessary in the hope of fasterto gain weight. Yes, the weight you gain faster, but it will not be muscle and fat.

Do not get fooled by the cheapness. Then to get rid of fat, you will spend much more money and effort. A good high protein weight gainer is a minimum 600R per 1 kg.
