Go to your local health store(stay away from GNC-there employees are on comission and will sell you anything) and find a protein supplement that your interested in. Before buying it, ask an employee about the ingredients on the label. If they don't have a clue, walk away. You should always know what your putting into your body.
I believe you can get alot more out nutrition through a proper diet. If you want to gain weight, try this meal out..... Lean Ground Beef and Noodles with tomatoe sauce
I would cosume protein supplements after you workout, when your body needs it the most!
I would recommend Interactive Lean Gainer.

Protein powder is not and does not contain steroids. All it is is just portein in a purer form. Take it. It will not hurt you at all. It is one of the best ways to ingest protein. No fats, carbs, etc.
my bf takes it...i really do not think it matters at all what age u are. he is 18 though. i never heard of a protein shake that hurts u. i actually think it is good for u. they make u feel fuller longer
