What Supplements for me?

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if anyone could advise of any supplements that they think I could beneift from based on my stats, goals, diet and exercise.

    P.S. I'm a noob when it comes to this sort of terminology so go easy on me! This post is also a bit long but bear with me!

    I am 32, 5ft 8, 10 stone even. approx 9.5% bodyfat. I have a seriously slight frame so want the lean, toned, defined look. I am there to some degree - i was under 9 stone before i started working out! I could probably get to 10.5 or 11 stone once the extra is lean muscle.

    Due to a small baby in the house, I am currently only able to hit the gym twice a week. Primarily all weights programme with some fat buring cardio.

    My diet looks like this:

    6.30am
    Porridge & Low Fat Milk
    Herbalife 24 Formula 1 Shake with 250ml Soya Milk Multivitamin tablet
    Fish Oil Capsule

    10am
    Low Fat Probiotic Yoghurt
    Plum/Nectarine
    Small tin of tuna / couple of hard boiled eggs

    12.30pm
    Dinner in work. Dinners are pretty good here and I generally can get unprocessed meats, two veg, spuds, rice etc

    4pm
    Piece of fruit / banana if going to the gym Kinetica Whey Protein

    6.30pm (non gym days)
    Second dinner. This will be smaller than earlier in the day. Typically standard portion sizes of spagehetti bologanise, chicken stir fry and brown rice, baked salmon & spuds etc

    7.30pm (gym days)
    4 large eggs scrambled
    slice of wholemeal bread
    small-medium sized tin of sugar free beans

    9pm piece of fruit handful of nuts

    So thats my diet most days. The Herbalife is one thing I probably want to try change. Its bl00dy expensive plus the the reason I am taking it is because: a) my mate sells the stuff! b) when i started exercising first my diet was terrible. It was a handy complete meal in a shake.

    So my question is would I benefit from other supplements e.g. creatine or some lean mass type product?

    All constructive advice welcome!
