I'm 15 years old, and I work out often. For the last 1 1/2 months that I worked out, I have only gotten toned, but I'm not gaining any muscle or weight. I have internet researched whey protein and weight gainers and some say its bad and some say its ok. I have been recommended Cytosport's Cytogainer which has like 600 calories/54 grams of protein per serving. I have also been told that: since kidney's and the liver filter your blood, taking supplements may cause complications. I want to know what is better to build muscle mass SAFELY for someone my age? Which brand is best for me? How much should someone my age take? When should I take it in the day? Gainers, I've been told, have Creatine and Arginine in excess (Cytogainer) which aren't safe for my age. Also, do gainers have steroids in them [I absolutely want to avoid contact with any substances like steroids]. Preferably, I would like advice from a professional [Personal Trainer, doctor, etc.] who actually know about this. Help!

Hey,
I'm not on a diet since my weight is healthy but I want to maintain it or slim down a kilo,not much more though...Anyways skinny girls of my age eat a lot of chocolate and stuff without being bulimic,so I dont want to deprive myself either but is this too much?
Breakfast:An apple and a brown bread slice cut in 2 halfs:One with peanut butter,the other with fat free cottage cheese

Snack:Special K bar(90cals)

Lunch:A bit of lettuce,and apple slices(not alot,I just got them from the fruit salad,and it was SMALL)And 2 "fried coated fish cakes"(but they're not big,though...)
Followed by another specIal K bar

Snack: A special K bar(again)
Then a chocolate,chocolate chip muffin
Then I exercised for 30 mins(lost 200cals)

Dinner:One slice of brown bread with cayenne pepper,tuna and lettuce,followed by a chocolate coated rice cake(only 50cals)

3g of sat fat per 100g in a mcdonalds beefburger.
4.5 per 100g of sesame seeds
14.5 per 100g of olive oil
the manufactures are keen to point out that these items are all mainly made of good fats....and there also keen to use the % of good fats to bad fats as the scale. this makes the burger look bad.
but the fact they are higher in staurated fats per gramm and I'm startled by the fact that 100g of nuts and seeds is worse for you than a beefburger!

am I missing something? is there a misprint on my food labels?

I asked my science (chemistry teacher) if it was possible to take some kind of supplement which would give you amino acids and vitamins, but not actually eat any food and just burn up the calories stored in your body. He said you would still need carbohydrates and blah blah blah....Then one kid insisted that maybe if you drank milk, that would be sufficient...
So, is it possible to get on a diet of milk and supplements? If not, what kind of adjustments could i make?

If you was to be on a bulking diet 7-8 meals a day, but without the training, would you still gain weight? I know the training burns fat but what's so bad about fat if you're looking to get out of being skinny?

Thanks in advance.

Some foods we eat have more calories than we thought. For example, a slice of pecan pie I thought has 200 calories turns to be 700 calories. Or a 150-calorie slice of pizza turns out to have 500 calories.

And eating 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday to be healthy seems high standard. How frequent we exercise (30 minutes a day for most days of the week) seems too much for most people.

I figure i eat a good veggie and fruity meal in my meals tons of colors for example

today thankgiving, I'm a vegan so i eat pretty color ful and fresh foods. for breakfast have starch from a real source of a sweet potato, had a 2 cups raw and steamed to 1 cup of cabbage, and one medium red apple. so got my orange red and greenish colors in. do probably the same for lunch and dinner have more variety with a grain in the mixture and plenty of tea and tons of water , plus gum for exercises plus heavy running 20 mins a day and gum to keep me occupied for hours and also have a piece of dark chocolate and whole grain crackers or soy milk with an apple for dessert.

plenty of antioxidents nothing mixed with fatty stuff but all healthy is this a good idea?

I tried this question a few minutes ago, but didn't get any answers so I'll try again. If I wanted to exercise this morning before thanksgiving, would it be better to do cardio or something with light weight? I'm a girl in my early teens, and I'm not trying to lose weight just stay healthy. Which would be better? thanks :)
