I'd recommend what im taking at the moment: reflex instant mass - good quality, slow digesting carbs to minimise putting fat on. Plus a mix of fast and slow digesting protein and it tastes pretty good too!

Instant Mass is a good shout but if your worried about putting a bit of tubs on Ive been using Boditronics express protein and I find this fits in great. Makes a nice medium thickness shake and as its a blend it keeps you fed/going through the day. Its 40g of proteins, 8g carbs, 2.8g fat and 10g of glutamine per serving.
I really like the sq. meal from biorhythem but this is more carb loaded litterly like a sq meal...
If you want to keep it really tight on the carbs and fats usn pure protein is spot on and again a blend.

I've got a few tubs of things on the go at the moment, instant whey tastes great especially in milk but may not fill you up enough. Have got a tub of nutrisport MRP which is great at filling me up with high protein and medium amoutn of low GI carbs, only downside is i'm not too keen on the taste.

Oh and if you like Steves suggestion of boditronics express protien you may want to check out the coupon section today

Best i've ever tasted was the square meal from Biorhythm as well but it's too easy and thin to drink that it didnt fill me up at all and I just wanted more!

For mrps iv always stuck to usn musclefuel i find its quite good value for money. £52 i pay for a 5kg tub which gives 90servings tastes really good an actually fills me up. Each serving is around 408cals with 44g protein and 49g carbs. It one if the only mass proteins that actually doesnt bloat me up.

square meal was a consideration but if it makes a thin shake its out the question im afraid, i need something filling, i tried the MRP's from MyProtein this afternoon and that was exactly what i was after, so i may look at Reflex Progen maybe, ive been looking at all in ones and weight gains, seems a hell of a lot of crossover products, most of which they just have different serving sizes

what does one stop extreme taste like, and is it thick and filling

If you want a thick quality fill you up shake you will not beat Progen! I used to have mine with a knife and folk

One stop extreme is good, I had a couple of big bags of it makes a medium thick shake tastes good - can be slightly gritty like most all in one's with the creatine, glutimine and that in it. I'm a big fan of MFA like Jeff but from memory doesn't make the thickest shake but will fill you!

Square meal is awesome but pretty thin and like said you just want another straight after as they taste the biz!

i think the one stop extreme might be good but the serving size would be too big for me i think, if i reduced it down i wouldnt really be getting the right amount of the beta alanaine and creatine etc, i think its definitely aimed more at people who wanna get huge

ive realised this morning that although Reflex make reference to low GI carbs in thier products such as one stop, and basically call other companies for using maltodextrin, a look at the label shows Reflex put maltodextrin in aswell, naughty !

this product will be basically something ill use at work as a snack, probably my 10am or 3pm snack, its not something ill be having 3x a day

Good spot Brun lol. The Boditronics stuff has great carb sourses as does the sq meal.

If you like the look of the one stop extreme but the serving size is too much maybe check the norm. one stop - I know its less calorific but can't remember what else differs tbh.

I'd go between the Progen, One stop, Sq meal & Boditronic stuff.

I use Boditronics Protein xrt 4 for a stack/light meal at the minute as I'm looking to keep my carbs low-ish so thats 40g protein, 10g glutamine and 8 carbs?

Hi Brun

Take a look at MAss Attack Evo , it is a Mass gain MRP and has Ultracarb as its main carb source . Ultracarb is a blend of whole ground oats , Barley , Durum wheat and Maize and is very low GL much less so that white oatflour used by others , it makes a nice thick shake as a conquence has a good amount of protein and cals and tastes pretty great .  Its a great MRP for people looking to gain a bit of mass and replace meals .

Wurz

yea ive been looking at that actually !!!

cheers everyone

Wurz you seem to be out of stock of it, and BA only have the 4kg tubs in, is more of it due soon ?

The 4kg tub will work out a lot more cost effective in the long run...

what flavour do you want we had a delivery today , but not booked in yet . I can check tomrrow if we
actually have it , if not will be back early next week

4 kilo is more cost effective per serving though

yea i just dont know if i could cope with the same flavour for so long, using it only once per day

im still considering using an all in one instead like profusion or one stop, as im getting a bit fed up of  taking my creatine, it would make things easier, i really hate taking lots of different things

hmmm Mass Attack Evo i think ill be going for, anyone tried the Mocha ?

went for chocolate in the end in Mass Attack Evo, its EXACTLY the product i was looking for, its full of good carbs, a good serving of quality protein, tastes really nice, and fills me up enough, perfect, oh and it was fairly cheap too

i have to say usn anabolic mass and usn igf low carb proteins are great and recently ive been using matador muscle anabolic drive ,the best tasting protein out there by far,im mixing matador and usn anabolic mass ,both chocolate and they taste great,around 300 cals and 35/40 g protein ago with 45 carbs,but you can vary it by mixing accordingly.great products ,they all are packed with glutamine.bcaas,and more so extra bcaas etc arent needed.

I had mass attack evo in strawberry. definitely one of my favorites. At the moment i'd probably rate boditronics as my favorite supplement company.
