I'm 20, 55kg and 170cm, look skinny.. Tried herbalife before and now left with a "small tummy"..
Gym and swim always but still failed to gain weight, maybe due to insufficient mutrition..

Want to try protein supplement now, how to choose? Any recommendation?
As I know, different protein are used for different stages of gym..

I'm a amature on this but i gonna give my point of view.

So easy to gain weight but what i meant is not gaining lean muscle but gaining fat too on the way through dirty bulk.
I havent use supplement yet, but why don't you eat more using real food bulking then + protein powder for the protein intake?
Getting carbs is easy but getting protein is hard. Plus eating food is more enjoyable then drinking "substances" no?

Gaining weight is just a matter of eating more CALORIE. When you managed to find your calorie maintenance value, eating more than that will make you increase your weight.

Do you need protein powder? Not compulsory. If you have already outlined a good, balance diet and you've noticed that you can't meet the required amount of protein needed, then go ahead with the whey/protein powder.

yaa, i get what you meant. but i work in office, always sit for 10 hours, i eat a lot, but the muscle doesnt grow on other parts of body but stomach!! i have a tummy although i'm skinny now, ugly look!

Same spot i have tummy too, time to watch what you eat rather than dirty bulk and add cardio? i am so lazy to do cardio during dirty bulk and that was a big mistake.

so wat to do now? gym+swim+whey protein?

What's your goal actually?
Add proper diet + rest, whey protein is not necessary.

my goal is become fit fit de, gt the body shape, get rid of the tummy..

You can easily calculate your daily calorie maintenance..just google it on the web

Yup,supplement do helps with weight gaining.try stacking Mass Gainer with Creatine,amino acid.dont forget ur solid food intake...no fast food to ensure clean bulking.Beside that do a lot of multijoint exercise aka compound exercise. (heavy ones).pm me if u need to ask anything bro

either you have loose skin or you still have some fat on your belly region. most likely it will be the latter which means that you need to stay on a calorie deficit and hit the weights more to retain some muscle mass while shedding the fat slowly.

you need to be clear on what you want ie. to gain weight or lose fat because doing both simultaneuosly will only lengthen the amount of time required for the desired results.

How about build your entire body and lose weight later.
Build that chest so your tummy doesn't stick out.

i just knew that! I thought i can lose fat when workout like sit up..

Ok, if let say i just wan to gain weight by growing lean muscle on chest, abdomen and hand??

Build your entire body.. Not just your chest, abs and hand..
Back, legs and shoulders too..

Thx for reminding~

Just stick to your food, weight gainer/protein.

I pick the tub with the most colorful label.

lol, supplements packaging all very striking and their words are so bold,"manly"
