constipation
i am 25 i suffer from constipation which makes me underweight.i want to gain weight .i wonder if i can use protein to achive this target.
You can eliminate constipation by taking magnesium citrate 250-1,000mg with each meal until BM are regular then you can decrease and only use as much as needed. I use 500mg with each meal but every person is different. Maybe after regulaing this then your goal of weight gain can be easier to achieve.
Good Luck

Stop eating red meat; eat fish, foods with fiber and fruits... if you're sold on protein products, go with Soy Protein; such as Twinlab's Vege Fuel...great for Mass gain and lots of Aminos. 0.8gm per Kilogram of bodyweight. 2.2#/kg (i.e. 150# ÷ 2.2 = 68kg x0.8 = 54.6gm of protein [or about 4 scoops of protein powder] ) Most protein powders offer about 25-30gms per serving.
