Muscle Building

[frownonfun]

i agree with saildesign on eating real food BUT if you wanna gain muscle mass you should be eating every 3-4 hours and that's near impossible to do solely on real food. unless you wanna be one of those guys that carries around a cooler of food everywhere. i wouldn't worry about protein powders so much as buying some good meal replacements. that's your best bet. protein bars and shakes. and imo brand is not important... protein is protein. well, sort of. at the end of the day it comes down to what you can stand to eat or drink. make sure it's whey protein though. and for mass it's always been my rule of thumb that for every pound of body weight you should consume a gram of protein. so you should be consuming at least 130grams of protein a day.

as far as the workout you are probably a hard gainer so no working out everyday. sounds like it would make u bigger but it won't. i'd split your muscle groups up into days like chest/tri, legs/abs, shoulders/back/bi. then take a day off.
