Second on the protein. I used the Serious Mass gainer after getting frustrated about my low weight and it worked great together with hitting the gym, plus it's tasty.
Mass Gainers have protein, yes, but the “gain” comes from the overload of carbs and calories packed into the powder. There are protein powders and there are mass gainer powders (that also include protein):
Protein powder = high protein, low carb, low calorie. For lean gains.
Mass Gainers = high protein + high calories + high carbs.
I, too, have difficulty gaining weight (my wife hates me for it). Took protein powders all the time and, with extensive weight lifting, just couldn’t increase my weight or pack on muscle. Then a friend of mine suggested a Mass Gainer shake.

Holy smokes!
Never looked back…
gotta link or recipe for a mass gainer? thanks for including this idea in your reply.
You can buy Mass gainers at any Vitamin shoppe or GNC. They’re powders just like protein mix where you add water or milk. 👌
Here’s the one I use. The protein to carb ratio matters.
Tastes great, too.
Thanks!
