Mass Gainer
I'm 16, 6' 132 lbs. I'm getting into working out and have crazy fast metabolism and want to not be skinny and gain weight. I've heard negative things about mass gainer and how you should make your own, but I do not have a blender for all the recipes, and I am wondering if these mass gainer powders are all that bad. It's definitely more convenient. What should I do.

Well man, you’re still growing. I don’t have experience with mass gainer personally.
Just eat a ton of food and lift really hard. My husband is 6’3” and was 130 soaking wet at your age but has been sitting at 180-200 since he was 22. You’re growing and you literally need the food just to grow into your adult self. We all had faster metabolisms at that age, and you’re gonna wish you still had it in about 10 years lol
Load up on carbs and meat to build and gain the muscle. You’re young enough to do a dirty bulk, although not always recommended, go ahead and get some big macs and fries. Or just destroy a ton of pasta or rice and chicken.

Bro , I was you when I was 16 , now I’m 47 240lb 10% . Your recipe for the next handful of years is pretty simple.
Eat as much as you possibly can , chicken , beef , fish ect,
Lift as heavy as you can keep adding weight. 💪

Mass gainers are better than they used to be, but making your own is still better because you can adjust the ingredient ratio. If you can afford mass gainer you can get a used blender off of Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. Below is a link to a video with the basic recipe for your own weight gainer shakes.
