I would say Cyto is better, less filler, less fat, no synthetic vitamin garbage

however...

what do you need it for?.. IMHO...these gainers are decent waste of hard earned cash

A friend suggested it because I'm a busy person and most times in the morning I prefer to take a shake instead of breakfast since I don't really have the time to cook it and need the protein and carbs for my muscles since they would be sore from weights.

Try this;

1 scoop whey protein powder (Optimum nutrition in this case, just any good whey isolate)
1/2 serving extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup oats
2 cups 2% milk
1/3 cup mixed frozen fruits

=

563 calories
52g carbs - SLOW DIGESTING CARBOHYDRATES
->7g sugar
-->4g fibre
45g protein -
20g fat - HEALTHY FATS
->1.5g saturated

Oh the goodies don't stop there..it's chalk full of healthy vitamins and minerals.. and 75% of your daily needs for calcium



It's so much better for you than any weight gainer I promise you. It only takes a few minutes to put together..

Why are slow digesting carbs better than fast ones?

What defines a healthy fat?

Monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats are the good fats. Saturated fats and trans saturated fats are the naughty ones. When talking about good and bad fats the issue is how they are processed the cholesterol each type of fat provides.

Monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats increase HDL(good cholesterol) and lower LDL(bad cholesterol).
MUSF's are found in things like meats, whole milk, nuts, avacados, or extra virgin olive oil.
PUSF's are found in fish, nuts, seeds.

Trans-saturated fats are bad (they raise LDL and lower HDL). They are found in things like butter, some oils, and peanut butter. Trans fat is a chemically modified type of fat used to increase shelf life of certain products.

That said the body requires fat in the diet to function properly and you won't die from eating bad fats but too much bad fats in one's diet over long periods of time can greatly contribute to health problems. Heart attacks and strokes for example.

**** Edit:  I have amended my original statement to say that saturated fats (Cis-saturated fats) are not a member of the bad fats club.

I do believe the information I provided is correct, even if it is not the response you were intending to receive. In all seriousness, I would be interested in hearing or being directed to the response you were looking for sir.

Belief != correct.  Don't have time to spoon feed you the info; go find one of the many meta-analyses and read it.

    Monounsatyrated..good and promotes good cholesterol + increase hormone.
    Poly unsaturate. not so good, increases bad cholesterol, decreases hormone levels.
    Saturated fat, needed for hormone producrion..read rani`s threat on truth about fats.
    Trans fat, bad, produced as many poly oils overheated and used as preservative in doughnuts, cookies and pakaged foods..HTH

    Polyunsaturated fats are good because they are the class that Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids are.

    I find it comical that my information is correct yet was deemed "incorrect" by a self-righteous, self-proclaimed "expert."

    Since when did Canadian gnomes become so arrogant and pretentious?

    It's the IIFYM fad running around here....it's ridiculous....some people who follow IIFYM actually think there's no difference between 30g of dextrose and 30g of carb from a sweet potato...even though my argument is that you could live off a sweet potato from its vitamins and minerals, and die from the malnourishment of the dextrose which is just an empty calorie..but apparently I'm wrong. IIFYM is absolutely absurd.

    IIFYM is absolutely absurd.

    Like in all things, moderation is key.  I am a believer in IIFYM, but within reason.  When it comes to fat gain/loss, it is almost as simple as calories.  Overall health, which is what you are stressing, is a much different story.  I agree with this.
