Protein ..weight gain ?

Okay, so everyone who said "wrong" right away might be thinking about whey protein in general. However, in the case of just whey protein, you shouldn't gain weight necessarily, but if you are liftin weights(probly the only time you would need extra protein) then you may gain weight but thin out as muscle is more dense and thus heavier than fat. In the SPECIFIC case of Body Fortress, I have used that brand before and your buddy might be onto something, because the Body Fortress stuff I have also has creatine in it which will cause you to hold more water weight, so you may feel a lil bloated and maintain your current poundage while losing fat just because you are retaining water, which is fine if you expect it, because when you switch to a protein without creatine you will lose that water weight. BUT there is no need to supplement your protein unless you are hitting the gym (also keep in mind that hitting the gym, specifically lifting, not cardio may cause you to gain weight due to muscle gain, so if that is the case you should pay less attention to your weight and more attention to your measurements as sometimes you can gain weight and lose inches - muscle growth and tightening being the cause) PLEASE IF YOU ARE GOING TO SUPPLEMENT THAN HIT THE WEIGHTS AND DRINK EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS(try and hit a gallon of straight water a day - you will pee a lot at first, but it will make you less hungry and your body will eventually get used to it so you can pee on a more normal schedule) OF WATER AS CREATINE AND PROTEINS WILL DEHYDRATE YOU

4. and yes I know it's not the "best" one but it's cheap at walmart.
