whey protein isolate http://www.prosource.net/nytrowhey-extreme-vanilla/6477-1/2242/ its loaded with BCAA's and then a separate protein for when you go to bed http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mhp/pro.html that breaks down slower to repair muscle while you sleep.   DON'T DO ATKINS Dr Atkins died of heart failure at 256lbs... what does that tell you?  Carbs are the Carrier of the protein to the muscle for protein synthesis to take place(healing the muscle).  There are different carbs like ones in oatmeal (slow burning) and ones in fruit and sugary crap http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/zaino14.htm I suggest doing your cardio 3-4 times a week 30-45 min of slow to medium paced cardio.  Drink green tea or take EGCG(Green tea extract) that raises your metabolism, blocks some calories absorbed, and helps fat oxidation(breakdown) and eat 4-5 small meals a day instead of 2-3 bigger ones.  And eat the clean foods http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/stella9a.htm swimming is a great way to do cardio i would suggest doing 20-30min swimming.  Also take multi vitamins a lot of the vit B's help burn fat and maintain weight.

Whey is a good source of protein, protein is necessary for healthy muscles and is particularly benificial if you regularly work out.  It is estimated that most people need about 1-1.5 grammes of protein per pound of body weight each day, if you don't think that you are getting this from your normal diet then supplementing with whey protein shakes will be beneficial.

Don't know about the sugar product, but according to Men's Health:\n\n"Whey protein is a high-quality protein that contains essential amino acids that build muscle and burn fat.  But it's especially effective because it has the highest amount of protein for the fewest number of calories..."\n\nRicotta cheese is a good source.

Don't cut down on anything but fat. If your legs are getting more muscular, great - bring it on. Muscles burn calories just because it takes calories for a muscle to exist. Even resting, you burn more calories if you have more muscle mass. Keep working out. Don't cut your protein or carbs. I would change what TYPE of carbs and protein you are getting. Go with natural sources, fresh food. It tastes better anyway.

Protein, simple as that. you can get protein bars, real ones watch for those fake sugary ones, or use whey protein powder. Chicken breast is the highest meat in protein. Also, in case you don't know, weight train every second day, your muscles need time to regenerate. Time and patience, you're young give your body the time it needs and you'll be happy and fit in no time.

Raw Eggs (Pastuerized) are still the best protein for the weight lifting.  If you can't stand those than stick with high-protein shake that have no sugars and no fats.  I used to eat 1/2 an apple and whole wheat toast and it was great too.

exercise with heavy (but not too heavy) weights with low reps, and a protein rich diet. Always see a professional first before starting any exercise program.

Try Universal Animal Stack.  It is to be used with weight trainning and will build strength and burn fat.  I used it but had to stop because I was losing weight when I needed to gain weight.  Strength went up like a son of a b_tch though.

Consume about a gram of protein per pound of body weight. Get protein from mostly natural sources but it is OK to have a protein shake or two during the day. The key is to get quality protein throughout the day and especially after you workout. I drink a protein shake from ABB called Extreme Body RTD 50. It taste great to me and has 50 grams of protein. Here is a link to some reviews on the ABB protein shake (five different favors now):\n\nhttp://www.nicemuscle.com/extreme-body-shake-81438.htm

lean cuts, yes. meat has protien which is ESSENTIAL to any diet and exercise program. assuming you are working out or exercising, if not, then do it. protein helps build up your muscles, and having muscles helps burn more calories

No, protein doesn't burn fat.  \n\nIt does take longer to metabolize than carbs though, but not as long as dietary fat.\n\nBTW, peanut butter is 75% fat, not a high source of protein.

muscles are made of proteins, carbohydrates will give you energy. when exercising, avoid sugars-those are bad carbs! i suggest a bean and cheese burrito, a peanut butter sandwich, stuff like that with protein and carbs.

Go to a heath store and buy a batch or two of those protein drinks.  They're designed to make you "bulk up".  If you don't exercise regularly while taking these, you'll gain weight for sure.

Yes. There are a variety of very cost effective protein shakes on the market. There are even some available for under $10 a pound which have nearly no fat or carbs and no lactose. \n\nIf it's simply a matter of wanting to substitute protein for meat to meet your protein requirments and you're still getting enough calories without making the shakes a huge part of your diet you'll be fine. In other words, you wouldn't want to make the protein shakes more than say 20% of your calories.

Although both protein and carbs contain 4 calories per gram carbs are the most efficient fuel for your body.  Working out, lifting weights, running, training, any physical activity consumes calories for energy.  Your body will burn the energy source that is most readily available.  If all you have in your system is protein the protein will be broken down as energy when you exercise.\n\nSince your goal is to build muscle you should have carbs to burn for energy and the protein as the raw component for muscle mass.  This is why a balanced diet is crucial and simply loading protein will have no long term effects.\n\nShakes are absorbed on an empty or full stomach.  If you're using a protein shake make sure you're drinking lots of water during the day.  Whey has a nasty habit of clogging kidneys leading to big problems later.  Increased consumption of water will flush them out with no complecations though.
