If you are suppplementing your protein intake with whey powder then you may want to pay attention to the dosing recommendations. The recommedations on the side of the bottle will recommend you maintain a proper nitrogen balance based on your intake of proteins and body weight. Pay SPECIAL attention to this since your "vegetarian" situation is an uncommon one.

Protein is the only supplement that will help you gain muscle mass. You can take overall multivitamins if you want to promote general health - especially since you won't be getting some nutrients and vitamins from meat products.

To burn fat:

1. Drink lots of water

2. Exercise at 60-75 percent maximum intensity for 30 minutes 4- 5 days a week

3. Limit your intake of saturated fats and carbohydrates

4. Increase your intake of poly and monounsaturated fats (almonds, peanutbutter, avacados)

5. Get plenty of sleep

In general, avoid products that contain creatine or other "miracle" ingredients.
