You are trying to be combative and argumentative for no real reason at all, especially since you are agreeing with me on everything I have said. Let's go over it point by point just to be certain.
1- Taking protein powder on top of a satisfactory diet will make someone gain weight. You call me wrong on this, then continue to say that yes it would were it to put him in a calorie surplus, which it would. It goes with the fact that you said, of how the body has no way to effectively store protein, which is why if you go more than a day or two without protein it will start eating away at your muscles. Protein isn't stored in your body as protein, it also doesn't magically disappear if not used. It also doesn't magically turn into muscle if you don't exercise to use it.
2- I stated that eating right was a better option than supplements. You agree with me on this at first, then continue to say that I am wrong because some supplements are needed. Which really, they aren't in the slightest unless you are doing high endurance or high intensity muscle building. For a normal person just trying to gain or lose some weight they really aren't needed.
Finally, nothing was meant as an insult. It's simple logical deduction that either you were lying about how much you were taking, were taking far more supplements than is needed going off the expert opinions I had found, or were doing above and beyond what anyone average would possibly dream of doing as a work out. If you took it as you lying I would probably reason that as what is really going on considering your offense to that in particular. But perhaps you just dislike even the thought of being called a liar even though there were two other very clear options that were not offensive at all, rather than just dis-liking being caught in a lie.
Any any case, if you feel like needlessly being argumentative anymore take it to PMs, we've both already answered OP with our own options. You telling him to take more supplements of different kinds, and me telling him that unless he's trying to super-size, it would probably be a safer and healthier option to form a high protein nutritional plan.
