Question WHICH, WHEN, HOW MUCH~Supplements for a GIRL~ need help!

Thanks for the info
.. I have NO knowledge of supplements~OR the best way to use them.
I know guys who take NO, Cellmass, creatine powder etc.. but im not a guy- lol- and im not big so i need help.



Im not saying strictly MuscleTech.. just supplements in general-

WHICH would work for me, WHEN, HOW MUCH etc



I posted my stats below-- [I have another post in the training forum]

I do eat clean- I dont' know if my lifting is on point-
People are telling me Im too thin- so I want to build more muscle and I would want to use supps- I just dont know how, when or how much.
I also wanted to know if anyone had ANY effects or problems with heart palpitations etc while taking them.
My heartrate is very low bc i work out alot. . [thats what they tell me]-
its at 44- so its more sensitive than most.
I even get a speedy heart from Musclemilk - but that doesnt seem to make sense.



Cardio: -
anywhere from 4 to 6 times a week, usually 45 min to
an 1hr +.
Running / Circuits of sprints, pushups, kickboxing, jumprope, / elliptical etc.



Lifting: -
Free weights-- lately been doing lighter-- 6 - 8 lbs- sometimes 10.
Usually 3 to 4 sets of about 12 to 15 reps~ again, anywhere from 30 min to an hour or so.
Like I said I dont focus on one part- chestpresses, overhead, squats, lunges, kickbacks, bent over rows, sideraises, curls, dips etc.
I pick a combo of exercises and try to change them from workout to workout.


Diet:
I can admittedly say I dont eat enough- also what other people tell me.
I usually eat very plain- and simple. .
I am not a food lover at all-
Some type of protein- either a powder or eggwhites, grilled chicken, turkey etc-- alot of salad [dry] - vegetables.
I DONT eat oil/butter, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereal, basically most carbs really.. . I dont eat alot of things actually.
I dont eat high glycemic food, vegetables, etc or anything with sugar, or sweets etc.
I do know alot about nutrition and everything, im just very stubborn [and yes its dumb] but my portions are very small and im kind of set in my ways. lol- ok- thats about it-- thanks for the help!
