should i take protein?

and if so what kind and how much?

etc?

Protein supplements will only help when taken with a good diet and good exercise plan. I would recommend reading the essential reading in the weight training forum a few up for some basic nutritional guidelines and a good exercise routine.

Many here use either Nitrean(At Large Nutrition - Your number one choice for nutritional supplements.) or an Optimum Nutrition variety which can come from a store. How much depends on you but 20-30 grams after a workout usually is enough.

i tend to work out at 9pm which is not a good idea and i'll try working out around 6 or 7 but if i'm on the belly off diet how should i go about integrating protein into my workout?

also i keep reading flip-flopping views on cardio post or pre-weights...whats going to help me lose weight(body fat)?

After you finish your weight lifting workouts a carbohydrate/protein shake would be optimal. You could even drink half the shake pre or during and the rest after.

If I were you I would separate the cardio and weight-lifting. Check the reading out that I recommended in the other post and pick that full body routine up. That way you can do cardio on alternating days.

You can get tons of protein supliments , but i suggest not to take them as they have side effects on our body... Take banana shake, eat green vegetables, milk...

Hey jasmine, thanks for suggestion.
Will definitely go the way you suggested.
Can you please suggest me whatelse I can add into my food?
