We got talking about meal replacement/weight gain supps in this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17897640 and i asked this question: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12100633&postcount=31 but it was obviously in the wrong place and didnt get answered, maybe it'll get noticed here. I basically just need something with some complex carbs + a bit of protein, although i already use Impact Whey, so i mainly just need this for the carbs, unless theres a really easy way to make it myself? Theres just so much fluff on those sites about every product its hard to know what i need.

oats and whey.
Soldato
so i could basically soak my own porrige oats and blend that into my protein shake and it would do the same thing?
Soldato
Don't soak them!
Put dry oats into a blender, turn on, shake about a little, once all oats are flour turn off. Store oat flour in plastic tub or bag for use in shakes.
I blend and store about 3kgs, takes 10mins to do and its a lot easier taking whey and oats in a shaker to work when you just have to scoop out of a bulk store rather than blending a small batch each time
I'm lazy so I just buy ultra fine scottish oats from MyProtein which come already blended. They are pretty cheap too.

Oh wow, so basically every weigt gain product is just a massive con? Well, not a con, but very overpriced.
Soldato
BINGO!
Soldato
No. You get a lot of overpriced commercial brands like Maximuscle, Met-Rx etc which are essentially cons, but MyProtein and similar brands like AllIn1 are very good value for money.

But as always its still a good bit cheaper to buy all the ingredients in bulk and make your own

I find my chest weights are really the only ones to drop if ive not been in the gym in a while, and were still waiting for your sexual leg shots in the pics thread

Ah yes I forgot about those, I will take some soon
Soldato
Agreed, not trained for the past 2-3wks and now I've lost at least 5kg off my Bench I think
Ugh, 1.5 months not training + e.coli poisoning and when I benched for the first time this week I'd lost about 25kgs on the bench!
But a few days later, and its already down to only 15kgs, and in a few weeks I'm sure I'll be back up there!

I'm guessing you ate some prawns or drank the water in Cambodia or something?

Well i went out today and bought a decent blender and made some oat flour, it was awesome frankly, i think i might actually manage to eat what im supposed to doing it like this.
I think ill make a picture thread tomorrow showing what i did, im sure it will be helpful to someone, cos i looked for similar on with the search function before i asked here.

yeah, it's time another sticky was created, there's a lot of new info worth getting down in one place.
Soldato
Please do!
Id make one now but ive just drunk/eaten the shake and i feel like ive just eaten a 20oz steak or something so i dont really fancy making another and then having to drink it again ^^ Ill do it for my 11:30 meal.
