I’m looking at the label from Bodybuilding.com: 3 serv/cannister - is that a typo?

I realize it’s got a ton of protein, carbs, fat, etc. but, you can get a great quality protein powder and make your own MRP/weight gainer for considerably less.

To boost calories, you can add things like peanut butter, oatmeal, walnut oil, bananas, heavy cream, etc.
I understand the convenience of having one readymade powder, but this stuff seems a little excessive on several levels.

Almost 400 grams of carbs per serving, and I bet more than a few of them come from sugar.

You might as well eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's and then chase it with a few scoops of protein powder.

it really suprises me that people actually consumes this stuff and do so as directed..

damn there are only 3 servings in it..

they actually have a boron and yohime in it..

talk about never advancing past the late 80s/early 90s..

someone must be drinking it..

some random thoughts is all i have here..

nothing much more intelligent to say about this product..
