Hi all, I am in need of some advice concerning my protein intake. I was talking to a few people at my local gym the other day and they were offering me some advice about how to get bigger and they mentioned that I should be getting at least my bodyweight in protein (in my case about 125 g a day). Now I know I'm not eating that much protein in my diet so they recommended getting some type of protein powder, but I have a few concerns I was hoping someone could address before I go out and spend the money.

First of all, what should I be looking at? Do I just want some type of whey protein powder? Also, correct me if I'm wrong but I just want to make sure that this is just like protein that I would be getting if I were to eat say some chicken breast. The point of the protein supplement is just to make it easier to ingest that much protein without having to eat a bunch of chicken breasts right?

Also, I was wondering if I started taking this stuff and then I finally get to the point where I'm satisfied with my size and I want to stop taking all this protein could I just stop? In other words, if I stop supplementing and just get a normal amount of protein intake from diet like I used to do will I lose any gains I've made or will my body just adapt and use the current protein intake to maintain an equilibrium where I don't get any smaller but I also won't get any bigger?

Is there any thing else I should know about?

I appreciate any input. Thanks a lot!
