ill be honest i dont have a strict diet i pretty much wing it and just eat a lof of food. and a lot of food that has protein in it. i dont even know how i can get in all this protein. i just used some protein calculator on bodybuilldingdotcom and it said i need like 290 grams of protein. i have whey protein i can take but still. im 17 and i dont have a lot of money either
You're 17. As already said, at your age and with your training history, you do NOT need any supplements but the Basic Staples (creatine, multivitamin, good fats, protein, and BCAAs) to gain mass and strength (and, depending on your body mass, you could only need a multivitamin and creatine and get your good fats, protein, and BCAAs from your nutrition) - I don't recommend using anything else but these basic staples until you built up a solid training base - NUTRITION AND TRAINING are what are going to get you results!
"Winging it" does NOT cut it, I'm afraid. If you want the results, then you need to do it RIGHT!
could i just take like 3 scoops of whey a day? and then eat a lot of turkey burgers and stuff
Not the most ideal thing to do. First, find out your Maintenance calories and then add up to 500 calories to that to get your ideal caloric intake for gains and go from there - probably start at ~200 above, and adjust weekly dependent on results. At your age, though, as I also said earlier, if you are serious about making gains, get yourself a trainer who will individualize and lay everything out for you, guide you and teach you re nutrition and training - it's the best investment you can make.
Continuing to ask about supplements instead of making sure your nutrition and training base is sturdy and correct will just indicate to me that you're not really interested in making gains. There is NO fast track for it - consistency, hard work, commitment and dedication, along with the right nutrition plan and training programme specific to YOU is what will do it.
