Best Mass Gainer

Best Mass Gainer - Optimum Nutrition & Mutant Mass Lead Commercial Options

TL;DR: DIY/Homemade shakes dominate for health/cost (oats+PB+whey); Optimum Nutrition & Mutant Mass top picks for sheer powder convenience; real food ingredients > maltodextrin fillers for digestion; massive serving sizes (Serious Mass/Naked) often impractical/clumpy; check "Pro" or "Clean" versions for better macros
