Many people use mass gainers but still don’t gain weight. Not because mass gainers don’t work — but because they use them incorrectly. Here are the top mistakes:
❌ 1. Taking mass gainer without a calorie surplus
Mass gainers help, but you must still consume enough daily calories.
❌ 2. Using mass gainer at random times
The best time is right after workout, when your muscles absorb nutrients rapidly.
❌ 3. Skipping real food
Your gainer is not a replacement for meals.
❌ 4. Ignoring digestion
If digestion is weak, even the best gainer won’t work well.
❌ 5. No structured workout plan
Mass gainers + strength training = results.
Mass gainers + no training = fat gain.
