I bought me Ultimate Nutrition Advanced Muscle Mass Formula ..it's Weight Gain Drink MIx Muscle Juice . It actually tastes good unlike the wal-mart crap but this is the Dietry Info.
With Water- 990 Calories, 18G Fat 18G sat fat. Sodum 115mg, carbs 152g, sugar 60g, Protein 55g
With 2% Low Fat milk ( I use this) 1270 calories, 28g total fat, 24g saturated fat. 380 sodium, 184g total carb, 85g sugar, 71g Protein.
I am using to gain mass. friend recommended me it.. He is really good at this sort of stuff he varies his weight whenever he wants. But This site has also been very insightful and would like to see if this is a good protein drink or not.
Good Protein drink Or no

Well maybe if it has Maltodextrin as part of the Carbs then perhaps, however even without Milk, it has 18g saturated Fat.
That is 152 calories Saturated Fat. I personally wouldn't want that much of that Fat type in one go.
Though as ever it's a weight gainer, and they are mostly like that. It's probably uneccessary, but does happen, and in all honesty I think you could get similar benefits using a good regular Protein powder, that will give you the same amount of Protein per scoop, and Maltodextrin Carbs.
Although you'd only get about 1/3 the Carbs in comparison, though you have to be aware anyway, if you're chugging back 152g Carbs, or 608 calories, you're potentially gettign Saturated Fat storage, some excess calorie to Fat conversion probably from some of the Carbs, and if they are Malto based, you get nearly a 160% Bloodsugar spike.
That is going to happen potentially 4-5 times a week, at the same time which is not desirable, as regular high increase like that, long-term can lead to Diabetes, and even if Bloodsugar is lowered, I cannot possibly comprehend you needing a bloodsugar spike that huge post-workout.
So on those points, I say use a regular Protein powder. One with about 50g per scoop, about the same Maltodextrin per scoop in Carbs, if that's possible, and do that.
If it's difficult to find something like that, then try I think a site called Myprotein, or one called Trueprotein, where they customise your powders, and you should be able to get a good equal Protein to Malto ratio, with almost naff all Fat.
I know Trueprotein, has some Triglyceride they can add, so perhaps go for 50% Malto, 45% Protein, (Isolate if possible, Concentrate if you want to save a bit of money), and 5% Triglycerides.
