Homemade is usually better but there are times when a powder is very helpful. My school is 3 hours at night during the week so I'm gone for 4-5 hours. I use Up Your Mass at the break since a homemade will settle and get warm etc. I'm not really knowledgeable enough to comment on this specific one though.

See, that's why I've chosen a weight gainer now. I'm not at home as much as I used to be where I could make a huge meal and be happy so I use the weight gainer to help keep my calories up for the day.

same here, they taste good too

I'm with everyone else. All weight gainers do is fill you up with simple carbs and sugars. Sure the calorie content is high, but so is cake.

[swollpatroll]

Shibby is right. i guess this whole thead has been a point less. sloppyjo did give you a good tip though so may be not

[BBAddict]

I disagree. While I agree that making your own or whole foods are better or best, I would say that MHP Up Your Mass is a very decent weight gainer that does not have a ton of sugar and I would eat anytime as a MRP/weight gainer product. It doesn't taste great but when a product like this is the only option, I think it has a good nutrional profile.
