Aw!! Thanks! No problem I'm glad I could help. I'm sure some other people will chime in too
Yeah, absolutely take protein powder along with maca. You need a LOT of protein for gaining. I'm 105 lbs and my trainer told me to eat 90 grams of protein a day. Just adding one serving of protein powder won't do anything unless you up the rest of your protein too. It just helps add a little extra protein to your diet without having to eat it, just drink it & it's really convenient.
If you have a smart phone, the easiest way to track your diet and to see if you're actually eating enough, is to download a diet tracker app. I just downloaded MyFitnessPal. It tracks daily calories, proteins, carbs & fats. It only let's you choose up to 1 lb gained a week, but I just ignore that and customize my "net calorie goal". It's made my life a lot easier so far. I don't know how to use all the perks yet though.
Yeah, if you were only using BC to regulate your periods, then I would suggest to just stay off of them. Maca helps regulate your hormones, and regulates your period for most women. It might take a couple of months.
Congrats again on the growth so far! Have you done measurements or pics? I'd do both every 2 weeks to keep you motivated, even if you don't want to share the pics on here & just have them for yourself
