Reddit mentions of Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass Weight Gainer Protein Powder, Vitamin C, Zinc and Vitamin D for Immune Support, Chocolate, 6 Pound (Packaging May Vary)

I'm exactly where you started right now. Same weight, height, work pressure, stress, and depression.


I have a toned body as a result of 2 years of strength weightlifting in high school, and i had absolutely no one to tell me then to watch my nutrition, so i lost a lot of fat and therefore potential weight which would have caused me now to be at least 130lb instead of 115lb.


6 years later, Now i'm drinking this from amazon every other day and buying those frozen dinners from the store which have the protein and caloric requirements to gain weight, without making me feel like i'm throwing up or overloading my internal food processing system. I wish there were frozen meals dedicated to gaining weight instead of losing weight... there's a good idea for you there lol.


My workout regiment consists of doing all the push ups i can do when i wake up, going for a run few or more times a week. and i have a 25lb dumbbell at home that i do stuff with randomly in the day in sets.


The most important out of all is the nutrition, watching what you eat is key. I don't care about being 'cut', as long as i can get to 150lb in my height, and being able to run a marathon, i'm healthy and set.


Good luck in gaining bro, be sure to post an update!!

I mentioned in another comment how I used to cut too much weight and became too skinny. While I'm sure you naturally have a much skinnier frame than I do, something that really helped me were 'mass gainer' shakes. It's pretty much a protein shake with a lot of extra calories. I recommend this one. Also if you do not already weight train, I would recommend looking into that as well.

Lift weights and eat 1.5 scoops of this, twice a day. You'll gain weight. This powder is the only way I was able to bulk.

I appreciate the honesty, and likewise: I'm not trying to criticise your decisions.

Whatever you do, you need more calories, which will cost more money.

Mass gainers are an easy way out, therefore it's going to be a more expensive option, there's no way around that and you may need to seek alternatives.

If you take this route, you'll need to reframe your attitude to "how much money am I willing to spend to gain mass", rather than "how much effort am I willing to expend to gain mass".

That being said, you can likely significantly increase the efficiency of the powder by picking something better, or buying in bulk. A quick example

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0015R36SK is £0.69/100g = £0.69/375kcal

So for 800kcal/day, you'd spend roughly £1.50/day, or £45/month. Compare this to the cost of eating regular food, and see if it's viable.

Drink after you wake up and before you go to sleep. Eat 3 meals a day, and eat 2x the food you normally eat per meal (if you eat 2 eggs and a strip of bacon, go 4 eggs and 2 strips of bacon).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this protein? I'm trying to gain mass and am currently using 2 scoops myprotein isolate

Not on the label

Your current bmi is 16.9 . To get into healthy range you should try to be 70-78 kg.

If you aren't doing any exercise , i suggest eating at an excess of over 2500 calorie daily should increase your weight by at least 1kg weekly. Avoid any cardio.

Increasing your protein intake is not going to build muscle unless you workout at the gym. I would suggest joining gym not to build muscle, but you can try to get over your social anxiety and insecurity( I used to be fat so i can relate ).

I would suggest eating rice/potato with every meal . You can try poha in breakfast and rice-curry/biryani/potato for lunch and dinner in addition to your normal diet.If you are already eating rice then you just need to increase your quantity.Your stomach is an elastic organ, initially it will be difficult to consume large quantity but if you try to eat everyday to your maximum capacity it will become easier after a few weeks.

Preferably eat meat in this order mutton > chicken > fish , since mutton has most calorie.

If you don't want to change your diet then just purchase a mass gainer https://www.amazon.in/Optimum-Nutrition-Serious-Weight-Gainer/dp/B0015R36SK?th=1
Don't buy from any other company than ON,you will just waste money on a substandard product.Just take 2 scoop of this in morning and 2 scoop before bed and you should probably gain around 5 kg or more in a month. If you want to gain more than 5kg per month then take the mass gainer and also increase your diet.

> utritious food. It's not bad for you per se but you could be eating more healthily - anything up to around 3000 calories should be more than doable with just food (that's like 3 medium sized meals @ 800 cals plus some snacks or a dessert).

This is the Mass Gainer i use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Optimum-Nutrition-Serious-Chocolate-Weight/dp/B0015R36SK
I believe this is the most popular
