Supplementation
Hey guys how's it going
I really need someone who's an expert in taking the right supplements on the right time with the right gym program.
It's true food is irreplaceable but I can't afford that much or even eat that much. A cup of shakes costing 50$ per month is all I can afford on a monthly basis.
Athleticism:
Cardio every week; basketball or football or sometimes randomly 2 hours of jogging and sprints with breaks in between.
I'm 19 years old
143 pounds(65kgs)
I once subscribed in a gym with a program called "periodized cycle" program from the bodybuilding website. Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Size is what the program is called.. It was quite good for a month but I didn't take any supplements.
The coach there said I'm so skinny(It's true I'm 65-66 kilo grams, but everyone, even I can swear I'm so damn skinny. I have the abs because of the cardio and my skinniness.) He said I need to take mass gainers AND whey protein along with the periodized cycle.
I can't afford that so I was thinking after a couple of research to take Casein alone or Whey alone since I can't afford two things at once. Or umm Mass Gainers alone with the periodized program.
If anyone is an expert in this please please I need a suggestion, no, recommendations for what program to follow and which shake to drink.
Much much appreciated.

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
I dont know whether you're male or female. But I will go with male.Your gym trainer is not a dietician or a doctor and has no idea what is "Needed" or not.
You said you are 19, and if male, I understand wanting to have some heft to your physique to look good but heft doesn't necessarily mean health, and being skinny doesn't mean you are unhealthy.
Muscles weigh more than fat. Some people have a high metabolism that means they burn up energy from food so quick there is no chance for a layer of fat to settle on their frame. That was me as a female until I hit fifty and my metabolism finally has slowed some.
You mentioned having abs that show which means your muscles are in good shape with your exercise routine. I will say from my own experience in life of different men who by looks seemed like they did body building, some did not, just had a daily job where they got the type of exercise that made them looked ripped. Then I remember the husband buying a weight set off a guy who decided to use a gym that had more options. He worked out daily and the guy looked really lean and skinny so I asked how often he worked out as his muscles didn't seem so big. He proceeded to work out on the set he was selling his to prove his muscle strength. He then explained that some mens natural muscles even when worked out, will stay long and lean instead of becoming big and bulky looking. I also know that many guys may think their body is done growing by 20 or mid 20s and yet thats not true. Both my ex and my current husband had bodies not done growing yet and the bodies they had at their 20s didnt compare to what began happening in mid thirties. My current husband (i didnt know him at the time) said when he hit his 30s, and he broadened out and used to be pretty much hairless on his body and over his 30s grew so much body hair there isn't a part of his body not covered in lots of hair exept the palms of hands and bottom of feet. I call him my
sasquatch in teasing. Thats a BIG difference. Your frame may continue to bulk out and grow naturally as the years go by. I don't see a need for protein products or worse...steroids to acheive a certain look.
If you're female, its good to be healthy and in shape but if you don't naturally have the weight you think you should have, stop worrying. Not all guys want a model type, most of all that is faked, air brushed and not real to begin with, the truth is women come in all shapes and sizes that are natural and each has their own taste in women. However, I have yet to find a guy who says they like a female who has the bulked up muscles of a body builder. So if female, dont even go there.
