2 things for you.
1. In your exercise, since you're hurt in the legs, try swimming alot if you have access to a pool regularly, and if your leg can't handle much of it, try using mostly arms to propel yourself (or tread water w/arms only). Great aerobic workout w/low stress on legs.
2. Target is 75g of protein per day (about a can of Tuna). Try starting off the day w/ 1/2 cup dry oatmeal (cook 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 cup water, 5 minutes on 50% power in microwave). Eat this WITHOUT adding any sugar or sweetener, then follow it with a banana or apple (you'll be surprised how sweet they taste after unsweetened oatmeal). I've cut 10-15 pounds in less than 2 weeks on this breakfast shift alone.
Don't look at cutting protein specifically, look at the right target for Protein, Carbs and Fat for your day. You need some of each, and your body engine doesn't run well when it's only using only one or two of the three.

I hope this can help. The more protein you take the more your body mass will increase. Then when you workout your muscles will increase in size. Protein supplements are for people who are wanting to gain more muscle; than just working out alone. So you will not see any weight loss, but muscle gain. Muscle weighs more than fat. So if you are wanting to see weight loss stay away from extra protein. You need to talk with physical trainer that can help you reach your goal. You may need to change your diet, different exercise, well since what you are doing is not helping you; you do need to change your out look on things. There may even be a health reason why you are not getting what you want. But hopefully that's not it. Good Luck!!!

You need a certain amount of protein for the growth and repare of cells.
But you need to take extra (protein shakes and stuff) only if you are into bodybuilding and weightlifting- its makes your muscles grow fast

The more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn per day. So, I would take protein, then just watch the fat burn off. (Your body burns fat up to five days longer doing weights than cardio)

i would keep taking it because you are working out still. from march to sept is plenty of time to lose 20lbs. maybe instead of running, could you do a bike. check out some supps to get at bodybuilding.com. im taking lipo6, and protein shakes and bars. NO-EXPLODE works well too.

no, protein won't make you fat, it'll help repair your damaged tissues. Fat and sugar will make you fat. eat a good balanced diet - you'll be OK
