re: Kids weight gainer/ high calorie diet supplement - SaintTiger80
Yeah I don't know if weight gainer is absolutely necessary. It's probably the simplest way to add in an extra 500-1000 calories though. Ultimately, if she needs more calories she has to eat more whether that's a protein/weight gainer powder or normal food. An extra meal or shake. Larger portions....
