How much whey protein should I take?

[Realmgod]

I am trying to loose weight. I currently weigh 277 pounds and I am a 6 ft tall male. I am just unsure of how many grams of whey protein I should consume on a daily basis or if I should use whey protein at all since I am trying to loose weight. I am working out as much as possiable at a gym lifting weights and doing cardio on a tred mill or a bike. I am currently dieting on a low fat, low calorie and low carbs diet. I just am not understanding how I will loose weight when whey protein contains so many calories. Currently i have a protein supplement that for 52 grams is 220 calories.

Please help!

Thank You

i bought the optimum whey protien

i like it, i only use 1 scoop with 8 ounces of water in a shaker and drink it after my workout..

at your weight id be using 2 scoops

well prob was that i was taking some stuff called muscletech mass-tech

made me get bigger but packed the lbs on too

worried to throw weight on even at my size it turned chunky around the gut...i could move up to 2 scoops just worried about that factor

use something diff with less cal's or take less and slowly increase your cal's and eat clean so you mostly gain muscle
