Anyways, onto how weight gainer works. Super-skinny people have really fast metabolisms which burn through food energy in double quick time. The simple carbohydrates and sugars in the weight gainer are designed to provide the body with fuel so that the protein can be safely used to build muscle with the (in theory) excess of carbohydrates your providing your body.
The aim is to consume enough calories so that the body has an excess, and when the body has an excess on what it normally uses, it can start using spare calories to build muscle and lay down fat.
Eat as much (clean foods) as you can, and take weight gainer before/after workouts, and on non-workout days too.

Ok, well, i'm not sure if I should use it now. I'm not super-skinny. But I know for sure that I have a
HARD time putting on/losing weight. I've been the same weight for years. I can eat pure garbage or I can go on a hunger strike. Nothing's going to happen. So should I still consider weight gainer? And if I should use it, should I use it on work out days or every day? And how many servings? The instructions say to use either 1 or 2 a day.
I should probably mention that i'm currently 5'7" 130 lbs. I want to get bigger, but not huge since I want to retain my ability to run. Since I don't know how much heavier I want to be, my plan is to use the weight gainer I have (supposedly about a month's worth) and see how much i've gained.
Oh, and is that much sugar normal? 70 something grams per serving seems a lot
