 |
|
| I am female and thinking of using Body Fortress Whey protein to build up a bit of muscle (no plans to be a body builder - more defined basically), but am worried that unless I substantially increase my work out routine the Whey protein will just make me gain weight? |

| Consuming excess calories will make you gain weight. Protein does require more calories to digest. Replacing some Carbs or fats with protein could alter the proportions of your body but keep in mind that when push comes to shove calories in excess will be stored as fat unless your body is anabolic (building muscle) from exertion. |

| I learned in biology that muscles make up most of the weight in the body and I learned from Jane Fonda that women can naturally build up large muscles. I would do your normal routine and watch your weight carefully, but remember increase muscle mass will show up as weight gain on your scales. |

| I drink whey protein every morning, I do workout but not to look like a body builder. I was actually drinking it while I was losing weight. It will not make you gain weight, believe me. |

| Muscle Milk Light by Cytosport helps to loose weight or maintain it. My GF takes it and likes it. |
