Those Mass weight gaining powders

[CAchief]

My roomate swears they are the best to gain a ton of weight, but I keep trying to tell him they load them up with tons of sugar which isn't the best. He's not buying it. Anyone have literature to support me? Thanks!

You guys are both right. Look at the label. Yes there is a ton of sugar and crap protein, thats easy to see. But at the same time its a ton of calories which will lead to weight gain. If your roomate is crazy skinny or isn't too concerned about body comp it should work out alright.

Hmm...looks like he's right. Seems like I read somewhere all that sugar will give you the shits.

That would be sugar alcohols wouldn't it?
