sorry theres so many quesgtions
you don't have to ancwer them all
just try to help me as much as posilbe


thank you. !

okay, now this really depends on what your age is.
if your 13-14, your slightly overweight
15-16, your fit.
17-19 REALLY fit.
and this is according to your BMI.
I don't know your age, but you really do't seem like your "fat"

but to answer your questions..

drinking protein shouldn't make you gain weight. especially since you'll be working out and such. but you can get it from all sorts of things. like eggs. Try getting Instant Breakfast (its a powder mix that has twice the protein of an egg, and you add it with milk). or you can just get protein powder mix somewhere else like a local grocery store/or drug store like riteaid, etc.
side effects from drinking it=more energy.


aim for 1600 calories a day. that means at the most, 200g of carbs, and 120g of protein, and 35g of fat.

food plan? hmm. lets see.
breakfast- mini-whole grain bagel with reduced fat cream cheese. or instant breakfast with an apple/bannana. or oatmeal.
snack(s)- Granola Bar (whole-oats are the best for you, 100 calories each). fruit. yogurt. Mini-RiceCakes (60 calories per serving!)
lunch-turkey wrap. or chicken salad with light dressing. carrots, or some other kind of veggie.
snacks(s)- chose from above list.
dinner- something small. speghetti. chicken (has a lot of protein). anything you can get really, just avoid the fast food scene. and if you eat out, avoid all fried foods. even grilled is better for you.


well, anyways. don't know if i helped you enough or not. but i wish you the best of luck
