Hey Nation! Was just wondering if anyone knew why mass gainers only have like 10 servings/scoop MAX per 2.5 pound container?

Kevit07,

Because the company that makes the stuff wants you to buy more in a shorter length of time.  Supplement companies want "annuity account" customers - those who steadily buy their product.  I use Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex egg/whey protein.  (1) 4.6lbs tub has 28 servings according to ON.  A serving is (2) scoops at 30g protein per scoop/60g total.  I very rarely use 1 serving in one sitting.  I mix it in a 25 fluid oz shaker with skim milk and have half in the morning and half after my workouts.  Supplements are great but the companies who make them are "for profit".  They therefore want to make sure you buy a lot frequently :-)
