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

:)

If I were you, I wouldn't so much worry about that counting carbs and such. I'd watch them. You know, not eat too much of them.

and what this girl did is change from eating three "square meals" each day to eating six Small balanced meals. What this does is gives you a quickly digestable source of energy with proportioned amounts of nutrients. Normally, well I should say Traditionally, People would eat the same amount of nutrients but it would take longer to digest, and more of it would turn to fat to be used later. having less to digest means all of it can be used right away, hence less fat is made. this is the same concept as getting your stomach stapled (gastric bypass) except that makes it physically impossible to eat big meals. It forces you to have small meals like this. But it works.

about meals, I wouldn't directly know, but I'd say to get a healthy foods type cook book. It'll probably include things like drinking low fat milk, using a lot of vegies, especially squash or zuccini (yumm. If you havent tried it, do it, they're SO good. and taste good too.) and if you don't want a full meal you could have a piece of fruit or yogurt or something.

Hope I helped, and Good luck with this
