Let me know what your first goal is and I can recommend a couple things. Proteins also vary on your goal, there's real pure ones if you're trying to cut and there's hundreds that can help add size in addition to healing the muscles.
I've never been a fan of the guys who take hydroxycut and or lipo or whatever and a mass gainer at the same time... it's defeating eachs' purpose and boils down to a waste of money.
Again, I'm a nobody but if I can help anybody on here I'm more than happy to.

I am also not a certified personal trainer(although I plan on going through the process next year.
The biggest problem I see is that people want to lose fat, gain muscle, and they want to do it fast and at the same time.
There are diets(carb cycling) that allow you to slowly build muscle while cutting fat, but bottom line is that it's much easier to put yourself on a cutting(losing weight) or bulking(gaining weight) diet.
Second, I am a big believer in training 99% without supplements. Supplements, are just that....they fill in the holes to an imperfect diet. If you eat lean red meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, and have a well balanced diet, you don't need to take any supplements.
Let me also say that 99% of the stuff out there(that is legal), isn't worth the money. The best pre-workout supplement for the money is a bottle of $5 No-Doz caffeine from the grocery store.
Another huge mistake I see is that people take the closest legal option to steriods.....Orals. They are hell on your liver, and unless you do extensive research on them, you can seriously ruin your body if you take them improperly.
I can go on and on, but I'm a huge huge believer that 90% of your success comes from your diet, and the other half comes from your success in the weight room.
Also, running a mile is kind of a joke in regards to weight loss. It's good for general health, but anything under 3 miles is not going to be worth the time. I laugh at all the girls that ask me why they aren't losing weight after they run a mile 3 times a week. They probably burned about 150 calories(at most) running that one mile.

Like I have seen first hand from my diets abs come from the kitchen. People fromt he gym or friends of mine ask what it takes to get abs. They say well I do x amount of crunches and ab machines and cardio and I just cant see results. Its ALL about what you eat and how you eat it...
