Do sources of protein matter that much? Like should I just consume more whey protein or should I concentrate more on real food, or a bit of both?
From messages in the forums here it sounds like I might want to concentrate on loosing body fat first. Is that a good idea or do you think that matters?
Thanks again,

To gain weight,you have to have a calorie surplus,to lose,a deficit.That's why I would recommend the carnivore diet.You can lose fat,without losing muscle,and a beginner might even gain a little if they eat a lot on the weekend.At any rate,after 8 weeks,you will definitely be more muscular.All proteins are not equal,a variety is a good idea.Vegetable proteins,ie.peanut butter,are not as "complete" as meat and whole eggs.I personally use milk and egg protein powder,as I feel whey is a cheap and ineffective protein,relatively speaking.
