I went to GNC today.
I went there to get some optimum 100% whey protein.
But he suggested I take something called " Muscle Juice"
It is a weight gainer. It has 55 g out of 230 g protein in it, but alot of carbs as well. (yes, im looking to gain weight)

My question is, I have whey protein at home, Do I still drink it? The guy told me not to, but I think I still should?

Any advice?

You ll have better result throught plain food.

You need to take a shake if you don't reach your daily protein consumption...

Save yourself the time and money and don't go back. They'll just try to sell you something different (and probably more expensive) next time. I'm not a fan of GNC because their prices are absolutely outragous, even with the gold card. Stick with whole foods to gain weight. If you're going to buy supplements, order them online.

BTW, I just did a search and here's the info on Muscle Juice:

MUSCLE JUICE 2544 –CHOCOLATE
Serving Size: 4 Scoops (250g)
19 servings
Amount Per Serving: %DV
Calories 990
Calories from Fat 160
Total Fat 18g 28%
Saturated Fat 18g 90%
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 150mg 50%
Sodium 115mg 5%

Dietary Fiber 0g 0%
Sugars 60g
Protein 55g 110%
Vitamin A 0%
Vitamin C 0%
Calcium 40%
Iron 8%

Ingredients: Premium ultra and microfiltrated whey protein (high protein concentrate and isolate), glucose polymers (maltodextrin), crystalline fructose, natural strawberry flavor, natural and artificial vanilla flavor, beet powder (color), ascorbic acid, vitamin A palmitate, niacinamide, calcium pantothenate, vitamin D3, riboflavin, vitamin E
acetate, thiamin mononitrate, pyridoxine hcl, vitamin B12, folic acid, and biotin.
---------

It's all whey protein. The least they could do is put a good mix of other different types of proteins in it. 60g of sugar per serving will do nothing but make you fat. A 10 lb+ bucket will only last you 19 days. Expect to buy 3 buckets of this garbage every 2 months.

Anik_10, don't waste your money on this.......
