First ever post on Veeky Forums. Have lurked for years.
I'm 5'10, 171 lbs. I'm on a 3500 calories a day bulk. Prior to this shake I started making I was struggling to even consume 2500 cals a day. Is it bad that I'm getting 1300 calories a day from a single meal that is a shake for breakfast every morning? Or am I just being paranoid about the whole "better to eat whole foods than blending them because you lose nutrients" thing. I couldn't eat 1300 calories if it wasn't as a shake.
Shake recipe: 1 frozen banana 1 cup oats 4 tbsp pb 1 cup 2% milk 1 scoop whey pro (30g pro) 1 cup spinach 2 tbsp flax seeds 1 tbsp coconut oil

Everyone knows how to make a shake, OP. Kill yourself, you fucking retard.
Nathaniel Hughes
How big is the shake?

Jacob Bennett
that shake sounds like it got maybe 500 kcal at most in it?
1 scoop whey? what the fuck? 1 cup oats? fug m8
3 cup oats 3-4 scoop whey and try again, and at least 1 litre of milk
Robert Ross
> quick oats > whey concentrate instead of isolate
kill you're selfie.
Joshua Myers
It's honestly complete bullshit that anyone would need to lurk so long before making a single post and you know it. There is nothing complicated about making an at least neutral post on any board on Veeky Forums.
Michael Richardson
Dude the peanut butter and oats alone would be 500 calories.

Not OP but I often don't have much to say desu haven't posted since 2012
Christian Butler
The shake is massive. It takes me a while to drink it.
Samuel Gutierrez
Is it fine to have that many calories for just breakfast as a shake?
Evan Cook
Another good one is: 1 banana 1.5 cups of rolled oats 3 tablespoons of peanut butter 1 glass of milk
it's ~900 calories. Less prep, probably tastes better. Macros aren't as high, but still makes for a good way to get in some calories if you're low.
Levi Torres
What do you put it in though? A tall glass?
David Powell
I actually drink it straight out the blender container lol
Wyatt Wright
That's what I started with. Tbh the spinach and flax seeds are just for the health benefits. I don't eat as much veggies as I should so I thought they not throw them in the shake.
Carson Harris
I do something similar which comes to 1276kcal but is more simple.
50g MyProtein Impact Whey (can double to 100g if you're really looking for loads of protons)
400ml Whole Milk
100g Peanut Butter
50g Oats - which I blend to a flour before adding the other ingredients, which makes it nice and smooth, no bits.
You can of course add more oats if you want, or none at all.
I've found the oat version sometimes gives me the shits. Apparently this is because the oats aren't cooked, despite being quick oats. This could be bollocks, but I've narrowed it down to the oats. No idea how to cook them first though without the usual microwaving which will make them soggy as fuck and impossible to blend into a flour. Ideas?
Macros BTW for the version with oats and 50g of protons -
Carbs - 67.3g Fat - 72.5g Protein - 82.6g
Angel Ortiz
desu senpai i am you and you are me. this is almost the exact same recipe i use as a hardgainer. 1500 cals that you suck down in 10-15 minutes? no beating it. except sometimes i split mine into shakers and have them over the course of the day. not much of a breakfast person. yes its a good idea. keep it up.
Chase Gray
I like it. I think I'd stick to mine only because it has a lot more carbs and that's like the macro you're supposed to get the most of when bulking?
Bentley Baker
thats more like 300 kcal.
how the fuck can people miscalculate these things THIS gravely?
Jackson Parker
Well for my 1300 cal one I measured everything as best as I could. I can't possibly be that off?
Nolan Sullivan
You must be legitimately retarded
Jeremiah Johnson
too much fat.
why not get a mass gainer instead.
Evan Anderson
This is exactly the attitude that has caused this site to go so downhill
Jace Rogers
Way too much fats. I'm on a 3300 cal bulk and that shake alone contains more fats than my entire daily intake
Connor James
Is it really? I was worried about that, but people said it's OK if you're really trying to gain a good amount of weight.
Michael Butler
Because mass gainers are a total rip-off waste of money marketing scam.
PB has a lot of fat yes, but not a lot of saturated fats, and it isn't worth killing yourself over fat intake when you're a skelly trying to bulk. When you're cutting, yes, cut that shit out.
Worth pointing out I'll normally stick to one or two of these a day, and still eat 4 real meals and otherwise eat very cleanly.
Oliver Jones
I mean 1 whole litre of whole milk is still barely even 600 kcal,
sure peanut butter is calorie dense, but I would guess you severely overestimate the amount you are putting in, I mean 100g is like almost half a tub.. you probably put a few spoonfuls of it, right? (which will be like 30g)
Aaron Gutierrez
I'd cut out the saturated fats in the coconut oil and stick to mono- and polyunsaturated fats from nuts and seeds, purely for health reasons. But high fat can work for some people. My sex drive improves noticably if I eat 100+g of fat per day, and drops if I eat below 60g. I think I also put on less fat when bulking than if I got those extra calories from carbs.
Luke Bailey
Oh I'm op. Not the one with the 100g pb shake. I only put 4 tbsp of pb in my 1300 calorie shake. Comes out to 380 cals
Ryder Thomas
I only put in the coconut oil cause a few people on Bodybuilding.com suggested it as a cheaper alternative to olive oil which I guess people use for an extra 100ish calories. Since Im really trying to gain I thought why not?
Charles Moore
What the fuck are you talking about? OP has roughly correct numbers. Did you completely forget about all the other ingredients?
Eli Brown
but then I really don't see where your calories are coming from,
seems like a long shit to reach 1300 please spell it out for every ingredient
Nolan Phillips
>this triggers the autist Suck a dick, faggot.
Saging your shit thread. KYS.
Sebastian Butler
The first ingredient is the whey protein
Levi Murphy
I think where people go wrong in the numbers is for the oats,
1 cup of oats is roughly 80g, which is about 300kcal
typically people believe 1 cup of dry oats is like 600+ kcal, which is not true
I get OPs shake to be about 800 kcal as my best guess, keep in mind there is no way in hell your body is extracting much kcal from flax seeds, even if you try to grind them
Adrian Jones
I'm the one who uses 100g PB, and yes, I weigh it using a scale. Probably always a bit over actually because there's always some left on the spoon which I scrape off afterwards.
Brandon Edwards
fair enough, so you are basically consuming pure liquid fat
I've been looking for an easy to make shake like this. On this day OP was not a faggot.
Robert Powell
As posted above, fat is 72.5g of which - Saturated - 18.7g Polyunsaturated - 17.8g Monounsaturated - 31.9g Trans - 0.0
1mg of cholesterol too.
I eat clean aside from that, and hit my macros just fine.
Carbs - 50% Fat - 30% Protein - 20%
While protein seems low, that's 150g of protein, which is a little more than 1g/lb bodyweight at present, so any higher is pointless.
To be fair, I often go over, and the fat macro will drop in favour of carbs then protein as my weight increases.
I am happy to take cited/verifiable advice on this if I'm doing it wrong though. I'm always happy to learn more.
Matthew Myers
Glad to help. You can even add some chocolate ice cream for better taste if you don't mind even more cals. I did that for my first couple shakes but dropped it for the spinach and flax so that it'd be healthier.
Jaxon Ortiz
Used to be people would be told to lurk instead of being spoonfed
Like this fucker needs to just GOMAD
Brayden Campbell
dude i just made this. it's blending up right now. i can't wait to try it. but i made a mistake... i accidentally put 2 tbsp of flax seed oil in it instead of flax seeds... oh well, it's ok i think.
Matthew Perry
I hope you like it man. I've heard people use the oil instead it should be fine. I hope you don't mind the spinach. Personally I don't, but I feel some people might.
Samuel Reyes
>get any food >add sugar or peanut butter >now it's a 'mass gainer' WOOOOOW that was hard
Dominic Gray
mm yes i do like it, tastes like chocolate and peanut butter. nice n thick. my banana wasnt frozen so it is a bit warm though.. but i will make this again.. maybe everyday to gain some mass...
Isaiah Powell
Nice man. Yeah definitely pre-freeze sliced bananas that way you don't have to use ice cubes (which are hard to blend at least in my shitty blender).
Luke Campbell

You might be the single dumbest person I've seen make a thread on Veeky Forums today.
Hudson Walker
Veeky Forums approved supplement brands?
ON and MyProtein seems recommended here a lot.
Ryan Young
not him, but the heat of a blender kills nutrients
fuckdick
Jordan Diaz
Then crank it by hand fuckhole.
Austin Brooks
It's a blender, not a pressure cooker. You use blenders to make smoothies and milkshakes, not coffee and tea.
Noah Perez
Sounds good ngl
Juan Ross
i dont know why you put spinach, flax seeds, banana and so on in it..
my morning shake: 400ml milk (3,5%) 150g oats 50g walnuts ~1200 kcals and cheap af
and how can you call it a shake with only 1 cup milk? with all those ingredients it must have the consistency of concrete
Jeremiah Mitchell
Spinach and seeds for the health factors. And it does end up being pretty god dam thick might start adding a cup and a half instead
Justin Myers
Nice. Can you please explain why the banana is frozen?
And what are quick oats compared to oats?
Nathan Carter
kek
Jeremiah Evans
Frozen banana to do the job ice cubes would do. And everyone else uses quick oats I'm not really sure what the difference is.
Cooper Lopez
>1 scoop in 1300 calories
ayy boi
Bentley Jenkins
the only supplements you should be using, that is protein powders, creatine, vit D, fish oil, and maaaaaaybe a multi, are more or less all created equal so it's best to just get the cheapest one. MyProtein has the best sales in my experience and their powders taste pretty good. ON tastes amazing and isn't too expensive either.
Julian Jenkins
Thanks. What are important properties to look for when buying a blender? I'm looking at a 1500 W blender with 2 liters atm for like $90
Carson Davis
Friction causes the liquid to heat. Power blenders can literally cook blended material.
I have made this before because scooby rec'd it. Use frozen bananas to make it taste a lot better.
right now I am just using frozen strawberries, bananas and scoop of chocolate protein powder. i put about a cup of water in as well. no more milk since I don't like the macros on them.
William Myers
quick oats dissolve good. regular oats don't, you gotta chew em up in da mouth when you take a sip.
Luis Clark
not just in the mouth. in the forest.
Ayden Richardson
what?
Jacob Johnson
>70g proton >1300+ calories
I expected that to hit at least 90. Change the type of protein or the amount.
Juan Johnson
Yeah, I'm sure running a $600 blender on high for 6 minutes straight applies to the OPs situation.
Eli Morales
>I'm 5'10 >171 lbs >I'm on a 3500 calories a day bulk
for what reason, you're already over weight.
Ryan Turner
old fashioned, quick , and steel cut oats are all cooked already.
Lots of people make over night oats with the above.
A shake is best for downing a huge amount though.
Ryan Edwards
Is that actually overweight or are you trolling because I consider myself pretty skinny
Brody Wright
Should I do 2 scoops of proton?
Bentley Bailey
>Amerifats
171 lbs at 5'10 is definitely overweight if you're not fit. You do not need to bulk this hard.

You're a retard. 1.5 cups of raw oats alone is 450 calories.

add some cinnamon and a touch of salt and swap the choco for cookies and cream and you'll cum your undies.
