The BMI tells you nothing about the quality of your diet - it only compares your weight to your height.\nWhy bother to waste your money on boring (but fashionable!) 'shakes' when you can enjoy delicious proper food?\nI suggest you re-examine your diet. You should aim to eat a normal, healthy, BALANCED diet.\nFor reliable, expert medical/scientific advice on nutrition and diet look here:

Many protein supplements will add weight because they also contain lots of sugars and fats.  It also depends on what you mix them with.  Make sure you read the labels and look for one without fat or added sugar.\n\nBut in reality, the best source of protein is natural foods.  Fish, chicken, turkey, legumes, hard cheeses are all good sources

Without knowing your age, it's difficult to provide an accurate recommendation.  But the basics involve a good exercise program combined with good eating habits.  If you're at least 14 - 15 years old, you can start using weights.  You'll need 3 good workouts per week, doing a "full body" workout each time.  But, this effort will be a complete waste if you do not eat properly.  Skip the junk food and instead, go for lean meats, pasta, potatoes, rice, and yams.  Make sure to eat your fruits and veggies also.  \n\nCheck the web, like bodybuilding dot com.  A good source of info.  You don't have to be a bodybuilder, either.  Most guys don't have the right stuff and just want to look a little better.  On that note, realize that 99.9% of guys will not look like Arnold or models...unless you put as much time into it as them AND have been blessed with just the right genetics.  Otherwise, we all take a reality pill, accept who and what we are, make it as good as it can get, and accept it.

Buy some 1.5oz Detour bars from your local grocery store.  I get mine from Wawa.  It has Whey protein that fills you up.  Do yogurt for breakfast.  Have a Detour bar for lunch.  Get 2 Wendy's salads at night, one for dinner and one for a snack.  Do that for 3 weeks.  After you get down to your ideal weight, stick with the bars for lunch to maintain weight.

Hmm. I thought protein shakes are used to gain weight. But I could be wrong.

Frequently trainers will attempt to market a 3rd party brand at a marked up price to get some extra bucks in their pockets.  I am reasonably well familiar with all the major protein powder brands and I have never heard of this product, so I looked it up.  Yes, I see that it apparently comes from India, so I guess that qualifies as "worldover".  Compare the price per pound you get on the powders at the gym to what you can get online.  Chances are good that you will do better online.\n\nBrands of protein that I have used:\nAST Sports Science: http://www.ast-ss.com\nEAS: http://www.eas.com/\nLabrada: http://www.labrada.com\n\nAll of the above are good name brand companies with a good reputation in the community.\n\nPlaces that I have shopped online:\nhttp://www.netrition.com/\nhttp://www.dpsnutrition.net/\nhttp://www.ezpricematch.com/\n\nThe last link is the one I have been using most often.  If I find a lower price than theirs anywhere on the web, they will beat that price by 5%.\n\nNow, the other issue I see here is that your desire is to be pure vegetarian.  That is a bit of an issue since I really recommend whey protein.\n\nMany vegetarians try soy protein, but soy is only healthy for you in a fermented form such as Miso.  Unfermented soy causes many problems.  Read these articles for details:\nhttp://www.mercola.com/article/soy/index.htm

1. I like Balance Bars (15g protein) because they are guaranteed low glycemic index foods and they come in a wide variety of flavors.  I have one every afternoon with 8 oz of milk to get over 20g of protein.  I also have a whey protein drink every morning (between breakfast and lunch).  I prefer EAS chocolate flavor mixed with milk and plain yogurt.  If you use whey protein in moderation you do not need to worry about the cholesterol content.  One serving of whey protein =  22% of the DRV for cholesterol.  I've been drinking it for two years, and my cholesterol is very low.\n\n2. Your best bet is to get protein from natural sources.  I eat A LOT of rotisserie chicken.  Some eggs, cottage cheese, lean beef and pork.  Also, I really like the Kashi Go Lean Hi Protein hot and cold cereals.  They are whole grain and high protein.  I also keep a few "Lean Cuisine" and "South Beach Diet" frozen meals in the freezer.  Some people will use Tofu or other soy protein, but I'm not really into that.  \n\n3. If you are just starting to investigate your nutrition relative to muscle development, then stick with the natural proteins but supplement 1-2x per day with protein bars and drinks.  Your best bet is to eat 5-6 small meals (each containing at least 20g protein) per day.  \n\nI've been on the Body for Life nutrition plan for almost two years, and I can vouch that the "controlled carb, increased protein" diet -- used in conjunction with a disciplined weight lifting plan -- will achieve results.  You will build lean muscle mass.  However, you need to do the nutrition AND the exercise for it to work.

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.

protein powder, you should be eating 1.5grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. Creatine is a good scientifically proven supplement,a good multi vitamin, flax seed oil, glutamine etc. there are so many supplements nowadays its confusing to figure out which are best. these are the basics that i use myself with very good results.

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

find a good protein drink and work out with weights to gain muscle mass. muscle is heavier than fat.

A protein shake is just a supplement. It is not a meal replacement, however, there are products that are labeled as such. If you want to use a protein shake as a meal replacement (I've done this myself), add some fresh fruit (frozen strawberries, blueberries, etc) and maybe some yogurt. It's will leave you pretty full and satisfied. I highly suggest whey protein as opposed to soy protein. Also make sure it's pretty low in carbs and sugar.

Protein builds muscle, muscle burns fat. The best protein drink (blech) - The least nasty tasting one is the Curves chocolate drink. It's not as chalky/gritty as some other powder. I try to get my protein through diet, though.

I use Fitrx.com. If you sign up for the mailings via e-mail, they have a coupon for "free-shipping". Which helps because some of the protein powders weigh a lot when you buy in bulk like I do.
