ok depending on your weight you should try to take 1gram of protein per body weight, so if your 150 pounds = 150 grams of protein try to eat more real foods than protein powder, also drink plently of water, and make sure your protein poweder has atleast 20grams of protein per scoop with calories less than 150 per scoop, SYNTRAX  NECTAR had good stuff.

meats and nuts.  You only want to eat lots of protein when your building muscle.  Otherwise just keep a small amount in your daily diet

Whey protein also eggs, turkey and tuna, need to get your protein intake up to 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight per day and do progressively heavier weights to failure, 3-5 sets, 6-10 reps, don't work out more than 45 minutes to 1 hour per session, no more than 3-4 sessions per week, work opposing muscle groups.  Also good is Flaxseed oil 1 tablesoon/day and don't forget carbs you need good carbs like pasta etc.  Eat 5 to 6 times a day, 400-600 calories per meal.  You have to consume more calories than you burn to put on mass.  You will also probably add some fat but you can burn it off later with light cardio.

None. Protein shakes are 100% unnatural and unhealthy. Why is it that you need to gain 5-10 pounds..and at 16? Your weight fluctuates about 5 pounds throughout the day, so I wouldn't try to load your body with chemicals and such to simply gain a couple pounds.

Creatine, HMB, and Whey Protein. Can't go wrong with this combination!

The RDA for typical working out is only 60 grams.  Most Americans easily eat 2-3 times that much.\n\nSome people will erroneously tell you that it's .5-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.  They missed the boat.  It's .5-1 gram per pound of lean muscle and the human body is mostly water and skeleton.  Water, skeleton and fat don't need protein.\n\nYou'll have more than enough protein for muscle building if you aim for 120 gm, but you're probably already eating that.  A chicken breast has 55 gm, 2 egg are 15 and a 6 oz steak 30-60 depending on how much fat.

Depends on how protein you get in your diet. Try to get as much as needed from the food you eat, then supplement with a protein shake or two during the day.

No. Whey protein is meant for those that are trying to bulk up, or add muscle mass to their frame. Generally, soy protein is taken by women just for good health and to ensure that they are taking the required amount of protein. I've placed a couple links for further information. Very reputable sources. Best of luck

push yourself a little harder.  more weight.  also make sure you eat enough protein.  you can't build muscle without protein.  eat your body weight in protein everyday.  however, your body can only take in between 25-42 grams of protein per meal.  so if you weigh 120, you should eat four meals a day at 40 grams of protein per meal.  if you're not getting sore after a workout then increase the reps and sets.  switch up exercises too.  do leg extentions and leg curls and calf raises.  read muscle and fitness magazine too.  they always have good exercise routines.

Improve your muscles by weightlifting, or body lifting. You dont need to take protein powder, but be sure do digest more protein because your muscles will need it. And be sure to rest a day in between workouts.

If you are trying to gain muscles mass, the answer is both, but more so, one in the morning, one after your workout and one 30 min before bed. If your workout is in the evening, take one mid afternoon.\n\nWithout doing much, you could start by reading Mens Health and Muscle & Fitness Magazines. Both are published by Joe Weider Inc. Both have great workout routines in them and advice on diet, fitness, health, supplementation.\n\nI would reccomend that you start by hitting the weight room, 4-5 times per week. Lifting with Compund exercies first, then isolation exercises. 4-5 sets of each, with 1-2 of them being warm up exercises. 9-12 rep range is good for muscle mass, and definition and stamina. Rest each body part 4-7 days. So if you do Chest on monday, dont do it till at least friday.\n\nWhen it comes to supplementation you will use the minimum:\n1 multi vitamin pill per day\ntribulus\nWhey protein or whey protein isolate. Depending on allergies, you may want to use a Soy protein. you should use 2-3 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight in your daily diet to gain muscle (you still need to lift weights though and stick with it. It takes a long long time. It took me 2 years to put on 35 pounds of muscle.) Take some in the morning when you wake up, mid day, and as part of your post workout drink.\nI would also reccomend taking L-Glutamine as part of your post workout routine.\nTake something with creatine. This stuff is well documented. I would reccomend BSN Nutrition NOxplode. IT has creatine, arginine, and others as well as nitric oxide. Take this for your pre workout routine, about 30-45 minutes before your workout. It takes awhile for your body to absorb the creatine.\n\nThat should be the core of your supplement routine. Do not rely on the protein powder to get you all of your protein in a day.\n\nRemember to do cardio at least 3 times a week 60-75% of your max heart rate (MHR) which is 220-your age. for about 30 min each session. If i do legs, I do cardio after. Sometimes I will split it, 15-20 min before, 15-20 min after. You have to burn the fat to show your hard work!!\n\nDo abs at least 3 times a week. focus more on form and crunching the muscle, than how many reps you do.\n\nTHis should help.\n\nIf you need more advice, feel free to email me at crazycanuck7901@yahoo.com I would be glad to help you out.\n\nBA in Health and Fitness, Certified Personal Trainer, Wellness Specialist with the YMCA.

If you want something to help you get bigger, buy whey protein. It will work a lot better than this crap, and is a lot cheaper. \n\nAnd it is not how long you work out each day, it's how intense your workout is. I only go about 45 minutes a day, but it very intense. I'm getting very good results from it.

There is no such thing as a 'serving' of protein, but if you look at those nutrition facts on the back of any food product, they base the percentages off of about 50g of protein per day.  A good rule to follow is that you need to each about 40% of your body weight in grams of protein each day to avoid atrophy.  If you weigh 200 pounds, you'd want to be eating at least 80g of protein each day.

It helps build lean muscle mass, try 100% All natural whey protein instead, only 80 calories per scoop (20 grams protein), rather than the soy protein i use to take, 170 cals per scoop with 20 grams of protein as well. Except whey protein helps repair muscle tissues faster and fewer calories and are better for you! If you eat right and still somehow gain, most likely you are gaining muscle,if you are very concerned with gaining fat ( like i am) , purchase a body fat weight scale or a caliper like i did :)\n\nDont worry about getting bulky and muscular as males off the protein, unless you have male hormones or take steroids, girls can only gain 1-2 lb of muscles per month, so you won't look like the governor of california anytime soon, or in this lifetime.

120 - 160 grams of protein.  This will be important in helping to maintain muslce mass, since the body likes to convert glycine (an amino acid) to glucose for fuel when in a gasting state.  There is no easy way to pack this much protein into a single shake, unless it is a really big shake.\n\nI recommend getting the cheapest brand of protein you can find (preferrably derived from milk or egg).  You will probably have to do other things beyond consuming protein to lose weight, but this is probably the amount that you will need to consume.

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

you should drink one glass of whey protein ( either low fat milk or less) or water everytime you work out, so either once after workout or even can take one at night as your muscles tear from working out and the protein rebuilds them. I take one after workout and a friend takes 2 ( one after and one at bedtime ) and we are both about the same.
