diet with promax

half_life_man

hey guys, does anyone know a good diet plan for a 16 year old teenager thats using progain? i dunno how much of what types of food i should be taking. I have 3 meals everyday and few snacks in between. I'm only starting to use promax tomorrow and am aiming to eat high protein foods.
It says on the progain tub that i should be taking 2 scoops a day, but shoudnt I only take a big amount when im working out? it says to take 2 scoops every day! Does it mean only the days I workout?
Is working out three times a week enough to be doing while taking progain? I do about an hours workout each day and i use heavy weights. I also go to the gym aswell as using my own weights at home but i just usually go swimming or use the machines. Mainly everytime i go to the gym som many people are using the free weights and bench presses:mad: Sorry getting a bit off the topic!
So if anyone has a good diet plan for a teenaged weight gainer pls give us one!

For a start, stay off the maximuscle. Your 16 and I feel certain your wallet would feel better if you took something else (and your body too).
What you need to do is develop a programme. People who know a lot more than me can give you one, but really, what you need is somebody to show you. What to do and when to do it. Inexperience in the gym is a danger - very easy to get injured and develop niggles for life by doing things wrong It took me a long, long time to learn the right way, and I had friends to help me, and i've got a dodgy shoulder from it. So get guidance.
Knocking back protein shakes will do nothing. There is another thread on here about taking supplements (whereby I seem to contradict myself in saying that), but you have to know how to use them, and they are, as said - supplementary. Have a look at the sticky's, look at old threads, but you NEED to know your goals and how to get them. What is it you want to do? Bulk? Lose Bodyfat? Both? What is your gym routine? Have you got a dedicated routine? If not, you need to get one?
Post that up, and you'll get help, but only so much on a forum.

I started lifting weights at 16 as well, but I didn't even think about supplements until I was about 1 year into it. I was stupid enough to be training everyday when I started, and not eating right which gets me to my point. DONT bother with supplements until you have regulated what whole foods you eat from day to day, the most important part of it is your real food diet, then you can think about supplements.
