What is it?
A Gainer is nothing more and nothing less than a source of protein mixed with carbohydrates.
Why?
It is much healthier (and more economical) to make your own homemade gainer.
When?
As a breakfast or snack replacement if you have trouble eating, don’t eat enough or are often on the go and want a quick and complete snack.
After a workout if you don’t eat within 2 hours.
Attention the purpose of the gainer is to supplement your diet, not to replace it.
What quantity?
As far as the dosage is concerned, it will depend on your weight objective and therefore on the weight of the macronutrients you need to reach it.
