8 Bulking Tips for Ectomorphs

5. Mass Gainers for Quick Calories

Purchase a mass gainer shake that you like. This is still one of the easiest and quickest ways to take in more calories if you don’t want to resort to fast food, deep fried stuff, etc. I know that whole foods are superior to shakes, but if you’re not going to eat, you’re going to have to get those calories somewhere.

Also, I want to emphasize that you need to enjoy your shake! If you don’t like it, you’ll most likely not drink it. Even half a serving of a mass gainer can easily add up to 500 calories to your daily caloric intake. To increase the calories of your shake even further, add calorie-dense foods such as nuts, oils and oats.
