Well lets see, im Jared. They say I look like the subway jared...after the diet lol.

Ive really fallen out of the habit of fitness and being in shape. I am 21 now. Back when I was 17-19 I ran cross country and could run miles and miles on end. Ive fallen out and lets say there is a little buddha belly a growin.

Im 6'3" 175lbs, 16.5% body fat. Now it may sound decent but my frame is really small. I have small wrists and ankles (runners body). But I do really have a belly.

I gave up on working out because I was getting discouraged. My first year in college, I lifted weights every day of the week except weekends. I took protein out to ying yang. But I never gained weight or lost weight. I was 160 and could bench press 225 and could run a 5k in 15mins. But I never looked like I could. Ive always stayed skinny arms and legs and a little belly. So at that point I gave up. But I am tired of being winded after a mile. So I decided to pick it up and get going again!!
 
Welcome to the site.

Sounds like (based on height) you could use to put on some weight. To do this you will need to eat in excess of what you burn. This does not mean just protein, but a full balance of fats, carbs, and proteins. What is your plan of attack?
 
Im not too sure on my plan of attack. To be honest I always relied on my fast metabolism to keep me thin plus excercise. Now with no exercise even my metabolism is having a hard time keeping me trim.

I plan on getting protein but other than that ive been told lots of different stuff from supplement places. A lot seem to just to want to sell me the most expensive stuff. One place, it was a really small GNC said, "You want to lose fat and build muslce you just need hydroxycut and weigh protein and youa re good to go"
 
Dont listen to those fools, they get paid by commission. Whey protein is to supplement your already existing diet. Starting out, just get some whey, a multi vitamin and mineral, and some fish oil. Optimum Nutrition makes some great tasting whey, but the cheapest good one I have found is Met-rx.
