I am bulking and eating as much as possible. The problem is with my work schedule. I can't walk around eating all day and when I am working 9 or 10 hour shifts I need some food. I have recently been pricing weight gainers, and I noticed you can buy bulk carbs for a lot cheaper than meal replacements or weight gainers. I figure since I already have whey, I could mix it with the carb gainer and get the same benefits.
Any thoughts?

Carbo Gain
Carbo Gain is a 100% pure complex carbohydrate supplement derived from maltodextrin, an easily digestible blend of complex carbohydrates from corn starch. Maltodextrin contains "glucose polymers", linked sugar compounds that are easy for the body to assimilate and use. Glucose polymers are metabolized as a slow, steady rate that can help to sustain energy levels during endurance-oriented workouts and/or athletic events and support weight gain.

Carbo Gain contains virtually no protein, fat or fiber and is a convenient source of energy for active individuals.*

Suggested Use:
Mix 1/2 cup of Carbo Gain in each 16 oz of water or juice. Consume before, during and after intense exercise for best results. Double this recipe if engaging in prolonged exertion of 2 hours or more.

Other Ingredients:
100% pure Maltodextrin from corn.

The carb gainer sounds good to mix with your whey. The weight gainer u posted is insane, why would u eat 300g of carbs in 1 sitting, less u were cutler or coleman. I'd try the carb gainer/whey mix
