Does Mass Gainer make you fat?Updated a year ago

As the name suggests, mass gainer protein powders are supplements that aid in meeting a greater calorie intake, helping to increase weight gain and muscle mass. Subsequently, due to a high carbohydrate loading, mass gainers are designed to increase body weight and provide extra fuel for your workouts(Cintineo, H et al. 2018).

However, if you want to gain lean muscle mass or maintain your current body weight, you may prefer a standard or lean protein powder over a mass gainer.
