Are weight gaining shakes dangerous even if you are underweight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally not!: The tend to be higher in fat and carbs, but still have plenty of protein. However, i would eat"dark chocolate" separately and have an eas protein shake. The only potential problem is an adverse effect on your serum lipids. Good nutritional support involves more than a shake!
