Different goals. Whey protein supplements your protein intake when you're already eating enough calories. Mass gainer adds protein AND calories — useful only if you genuinely can't eat enough to grow. If you can eat 3 big meals + snacks daily, you don't need a mass gainer. If you can barely finish dinner, a mass gainer fills the calorie gap that real food isn't.

Start with one serving (usually 250-300g powder = 1,000-1,500 calories) on top of your normal eating. Track your weight for 2 weeks. If you're gaining 0.25-0.5kg per week, that's the sweet spot. If you're not gaining, add a second serving. If you're gaining too fast (>1kg/week), back off — the surplus is going to fat.

Most use maltodextrin as the primary carb source, which is a fast-digesting starch — not technically sugar, but functionally similar in blood sugar impact. For active lifters using it around training, this is fine and even useful (rapid glycogen replenishment). For sedentary people, daily mass gainer use will cause fat gain. Use the tool for its purpose: hard-training bulkers who can't eat enough food.

MuscleBlaze Weight Gainer is the most popular entry point — solid macro profile, reasonable price, available everywhere.

Compare per-kg pricing on Whey2Much before committing — the same brand can swing 20-30% across retailers in any given week.

Mass gainers are high-volume, high-weight products with thin margins per kg. Retailers run aggressive promo cycles to capture market share — a tub that's ₹1,299 on HealthKart this week might be ₹999 on Amazon next week. Per-kg pricing is what actually matters; a 5kg tub at ₹3,499 (₹699/kg) beats a 1kg tub at ₹1,499 (₹1,499/kg) on every metric.
