When you were trying to gain weight was the aim to put on muscle mass or just overall body mass? Were you also training to gain weight as well as increasing your calorie intake?

Yep my goal was to put on muscle mass. Mass gainers just increase your body mass which makes you bloated and heavy, since they contain a lot of sugars.
If you don't have protein powder, replace that with egg whites, that'll help.
