Hey everyone new here. Few details to give you an idea of what im talking about im 19 year old male about 5'8 and about 107 pounds.. I am under weight obviously so im doing something about it trying to get in shape and build alot of muscle. i currently bought regular Whey Protein i take 2 scoops in the morning and 2 at night also after working out i just began taking Perfect Storm creatine. I began taking both on Wednesday so just started. I am doing p90x for a work out plus running ex.. To the questions now haha. Is there any other supplements i should be taking with theses to boost muscle gain? also im sure these supplement are not the best but i cant afford to spend a ton on supplements so if you know any better supplements that are not extremely expensive that are better id love to know. i can afford maby 60-80 dollars a month on supplements. thanks a ton

you would be better off investing in food and getting a solid diet down. your gonna see more gains from food thay you ever will from supplements.

Supplements are just that things you should "supplement" to your already solid diet.

once you get your diet down a plain protein, creatine, and multi is all you need.

You are underweight going by those measurements. I would watch the video with Mark Alvisi on Gaspari's website and how he talks about whole food nutrition. You definitely need to get in your whole foods first. Next, get into the supplementation. At $60-$80 you can buy a tub of Myofusion protein...it has some more calories then other proteins but not much more...it also has a little bit of healthy fats as well as it's a blend. It will keep you anticatabolic for approx 4 hours if you nail down the whole food. Don't take 2 servings at once. Better to spread them out every 3-4hrs. You won't have anabolic spikes much greater with 2 servings but you will get the added protein. Anabolic Spikes will help with muscle growth.

This is what i do for whole food briefly -
Whole Food - 2lbs of chicken tenderloins. Cook it all up with olive oil - only a few tablespoons. Add water halfway thru the cooking process. Add peppers once cooked. Eat 4oz of chicken on 2 slices of whole grain bread. Eat that twice per day. Eat 4 eggs and a cup of whole oats in the morning. For dinner i eat whatever is made - always meat and carbs...guess what? It's the same size as the rest of my meals for argument sake.

You can get myofusion for $50 bucks - spend the $30 bucks on chicken...that's like 3lbs of meat

The only thing that will make you gain weight is eating at a caloric surplus. Get those calories up and keep them up.

Until you've got your diet in order though you'll be throwing money down the drain on supplements. A protein powder is fine, but don't abuse it, it's just an economical and convenient source of protien, nothing else. Get in lots of carbs and fats, those are the keys to gaining weight. You only need 1g protein per pound of bodyweight (or in your case, use your desired bodyweight). After that split it up between carbs and fats. A bit of extra protein is fine, but trying to get in 200+ grams at your weight is just excessive.

peanut butter, chicken, peanut butter, turkey, peanut butter, beef, peanut butter, sweet potatoes. get a good diet planned out and have a protein shake after your workout. take a multi and fish oil before bed. other than that i wouldnt recommend you take much anything else until you get in the swing of things.

im taking precision engineered whey protein so each scoop is only 18 grams of protein not 50 so 2 scoops plus whole milk is about 50g of protein 2 times a day is 100g i agree 200g would be to much haha when i re up on whey ill buy the better stuff
