What is a gainer and why is it needed?
A weight gainer is a product that combines sources of carbohydrates and protein. It is usually considered a “safety net” for the diet when it is not possible to gain enough calories from regular food (due to schedule, appetite, or high energy expenditure).
Who is the category most suitable for?
- for those who have active training or a physically/energetically busy day;
- those who skip meals or don't have time for snacks;
- for those who find it difficult to consistently gain calories from food (and need a simple format).
How to choose a gainer (briefly)
- Look at the composition: the ratio of carbohydrates and protein, types of carbohydrates.
- Evaluate how it fits into your day: a gainer is convenient as an additional calorie intake, but the basis is normal food.
