Blog: Weight Gainers are a Waste of Money

08 September 2015 Before I started working out and eating (relatively) healthy, I was a skinny 18 year old weighing [almost] 120 pounds. Once I started lifting weights, I got obsessed with ditching my skinny look and gaining some weight. An early tool I relied on were weight gainers which are loaded with calories and promise to help you pack on the pounds. Unfortunately, as I later learned, while loaded with calories, weight gainers are an expensive and glorified form of sugar mixed with other junk that you're probably better off without.
