about those weight loss pills, i think it really depends on how old you are. lets say someone is like 18 their metabolism is running really fast compared to someone who is 40 so those pills wouldnt have much of an effect on the 18 year old but the 40 year old it would work nicely, i assume. your goals were to try and build mass and lose fat at the same time. i would try to get at least your bodyweight in grams of protien daily, spread over several meals throughout the day.
