I’m normally quite involved in my fitness. I have always been carrying some extra fat, but nothing dangerous or limiting. I’m male, about 5’10″, 212lbs. I just turned 18 and I have always been on the larger-side of the build of my peers. I have recently gained an extra 10lbs-ish due to a 2-week period of inactive laziness. I’ve completely turned around, though, and am on a circuit-strength-training routine, involving core training, and exercises like jumping jacks, calisthenics, skipping and running (jogging, sprinting, hills, etc). I balance it so that on days that I am not doing my circuit training I am exercising with the said cardiovascular and anaerobic exercises. I also designate rest days to allow healing and growth. I am also stretching daily. My diet has changed, and I am eating more or less 6 small-ish meals a day, rather than 3 large ones. I am getting to bed before 10:00pm each night and I am gradually balancing my schooling with my new life of fitness.
With these details out of the way, I bring myself back to the question I now have: “What would be the most suitable protein supplement for my circumstances?”
For the record, I have quite a significant amount of muscle-weight. I am a very strong individual, and so I realize that I should only be focusing on cutting-fat, as the muscle is already underneath, ‘waiting’ to be seen. However, rather than focus on just fat-loss, I want to embrace rapid muscle growth (be it by mass or strength) to further produce results, as well as to help with my dieting. In other words, I want a protein supplement that will help me produce lean-muscle faster than I would without the help. However, I do not want to be gaining ‘water-weight’, which can happen quite often enough with certain supplements like creatine.
I know a fair amount when it comes to metabolism, heart rates, biology (at a molecular level) and exercise science in general (kinesiology), and from what I know, I think that I need a protein supplement that will provide me with the right amino acids to centralize on muscle growth and repair, as from what I understand, those same types of peptides will be digested and contribute to me feeling more ‘full’, helping me adjust to my 6-small meals a day.
I have looked into something called AMP Whey Protein, by GNC, and it seems pretty good, though I would love to have some other opinions.
Please tell me what you would recommend, and please feel free to share some of your own experiences with different supplements and what you thought about them. Much thanks in advance!

You know people say pills don’t work. You know weight loss is hard. You should try acai berry, I did and lost 55lbs. It changed my life completely and made exercising easier. What is the worst that could happen. Just try acai berry.
Protein powder is protein powder. The small differences between casein and whey and not worth the paralysis the analysis might cause.
Stay away from GNC. WAYYY overpriced. Buy off the internet. trueprotein.com is great
You have to make a decision. Cut or add lean mass. Remember, we gain muscle better at lower bodyfat ranges. If you’re above 15%, I say cut.
friend I am not a professional but I do know is that if you’re going to take a supplement you need to be well informed on how it affects your health before use, and use it only with some professional advice and not just by the urge to get muscles as lacreatina is the most efficient but there is more advantage if you get a muscle to avoid future consequences naturally hair loss, like hormonal problems for poor feeding.
or many others.
I would try whey protein powder. A lot of places charge WAY too much for protein powder. I get mine from a company on the internet. Their whey protein powder is all unflavored, which makes it great for adding to foods or baking with. They have very competitive prices, and have free shipping promotions quite often. http://bulkfoodsdirect.com if you want to check them out! Good Luck!
I would like to recommend you my weight loss program that works very well. I find right weight loss program and applied the program, then I lost weight fast. You must have the program that works. You can find the best program weight loss that worked for me and lost 14 pounds after 4 weeks. You can find more information from http://bit.ly/uydb585
If you’re looking for another option for whey protein, I recommend BulkFoodsDirect.com. They have whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and will soon be coming out with a vegetable protein. Great quality protein, with 27 grams of protein (WPI) and only 3 grams of carbs per serving. They also have a section on their website for different recipes to use the protein powder in. Could be worth checking out. Good luck.
