Calories

High calorie weight gainers are still the conventional standard for mass gain in Sports Nutrition, even though the vast majority of them produce inferior if not adverse results compared to more nutrient dense formulas with lower calories. The results I'm referring to are gains in pure muscle mass, not bulk. What's worse is that even with current flavoring and related ingredient placement technologies in packaging and distribution operations, manufacturers still can't get it right. Supplement users would get better results if manufacturers focused on both macro and micro nutrient density, smoothness (in terms of gradient formation from liquid integration), and [taste]. Yes, taste is the most valuable component in sports nutrition sales of RTDs, lean mass gainers, protein shakes, etc. Again, there's quite a bit of room for sellers who can get it right, and customers seeking a wider array of higher quality protein drinks with at least decent taste. But getting it right is easier said than done. Some makers of RTDs add enormous amounts of saturated fat and sodium to spruce up the flavor, when they would better off experimenting with stevia and polyunsaturates, for their mixes. Caloric consistency does need to be within the context of good [taste] for sellers, but not too high for buyers. Beyond a certain point, more calories begin to leverage towards triglyceride conversion (fat storage) and away from myocyte nourishment (muscle cell storage). If supplement users could leverage product purchases towards those lean mass gainers that have the highest nutrient density of output (i.e., ErgoPharm's Mass Meal) per unit of caloric input, then they would attain far better results, and in a much shorter period of time (as the body would not be put in a position to waste metabolic resources on storing excess calories when distributing nutrients to targeted myocytes post-workout).
