Would love to see research on this. I’m not aware of such a strong link.
Asking for my liver.
Chocolate and candies. Quite beneficial for the mood. 10k kcal are no worries (unfortunately).

@mcneese.chad the above post looks an awful lot like a bot. Apologies to both, if I’m wrong.

I’ve been using this weight gainer for a while and I’m wondering if I might be better off without it.
https://www.amazon.com/Mutant-Mass-Bundle-Brownies-Chocolate/dp/B08S9MPKSY/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=mutant+mass&qid=1618343636&sr=8-1
It has a good ratio of carbs to protein (about 4:1). I’ve been using it only after higher intensity rides or rides 2h and longer (1 scoop - 48g carbs, 14g protein) and it helps me with hitting my macros for those days when I burn lots of calories.
The thing that’s worrying me is that It’s just sugar and since young age I’ve always had my fasting glucose on the higher side.
Do you guys think that using these shakes right after workout provide some recovery benefit without any negative health consequences?
If blood sugar is on high side, consider using more whole food sources with more fiber and greater satiety effect post-training.

Back in my weight training days, I used the following product. I like it because the carbohydrates are derived from real foods, namely quinoa and oats. Also, the fats are MCTs, which are highly ketogenic. Finally, it tasted great. I haven’t had any in a while, but I may pick it up again when I resume weight training.
EDIT: this product may have recently experienced some allergen contamination. Please see article below before making a decision.
