thank you sa aning advice boss, i think naka basa ko somewhere sa bodybuilding.com ani... they also said that you will gain weight but don't think it is fat immediately, gaining muscle is gaining weight also?

Gaining weight = Both fat and muscle

as long as you're eating slightly above calorie maintenance, fat gain shouldn't be an issue! Train hard

General rule for bodybuilding is that protein intake should always be constant regardless if you're in a deficit or surplus. To get OPTIMAL results 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight should be consumed. 0.6g/1lb of bodyweight will do, but again to get OPTIMAL results 1g/1lb. Before using any supplements, i would highly recommend you research more about nutrition. A good foundation in nutrition will get you the best results in the least amount of time. Remember, supplements are supposed to SUPPLEMENT your nutrition. So if you are able to reach your protein intake without any protein supplements, then you definitely don't need them! You'll save a lot of money in the long run.

1 scoop of whey protein = 20-25g of protein
1 Medium size chicken breast = 25-40g of protein
