Mass Gainer or Whey Protein- Which One Is Better For You
When it comes to Mass Gainer and Whey Protein, you need to understand which product is best suited to fulfill your needs. First, let’s understand that how do we gain weight and what role does a gainer play in this process. It all depends upon the calories that we consume in a day and is equally connected to the amount of calories our body needs to keep it moving.
Calculating BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
In simple words, BMR is the basic number of calories your body needs to function when you are not doing any physical activity. Calories generate energy which is then distributed all around your body to give it the functioning power it needs. It’s directly related to your physical attributes such as height and weight and can be calculated by a simple mathematical formula to understand that how much calories does your body need which will eventually give you an idea about the additional calories that you need to put on some weight.
Understanding Basics
Well, as discussed above, gaining weight is all about eating the right things and simultaneously increasing your overall diet and calorie count. Just understand, it’s the years of small appetite that you are trying to change, so that is not going to happen overnight. If you eat 4 roti’s then start adding one more every night and take your time to finish up your meal, it will take time but eventually you will start feeling the difference in your appetite.
Gainers or Protein Shakes
As the name suggests, both of these health supplements are highly rich in their protein count. In general, you will find approximately 100-150 calories and 20-30g of protein in a protein shake which might not be enough for people who are just eyeing towards fulfilling their calorie deficit. While on the other hand you will find minimum 500 calories per serving in a Mass gainer shake which will help you in bridging the BMR gap and you will eventually start gaining muscles.
Weight gainers are perfectly apt for muscle building and gaining a lot of bulk. These shakes mainly contain a mix of protein and carbohydrates which can be really effective in this buffing up process.
What do you need?
Well, it’s very simple, if you are unable to complete your calorie goals and there is a big gap between your calorie count and the amount that you are taking then definitely you should keep using a gainer. Similarly, if you are unable to fulfil the protein requirement of your body then you should move ahead with a protein shake.
Side Effects
Well, it all depends on what you are eating and do you really need it. Supposedly, if you are able to complete your calorie and nutrition count and still you are adding a weight gainer to your diet then all you will be getting unwanted fat. Side effects can also happen if you are not using the right product as there are a number of fake products bloating the health supplement industry. These products just have glossy boxes with international grade labelling and packaging but the product in these boxes is just some coloured powder which cannot be compared with any of the real weight gainers available in the market.
The Real Deal
If you have been not been an avid fitness enthusiast and looking to gain some pounds to boost your morale, fit into clothes and look good.
