Help wit Supplement

[krb613]

I'm pretty dumb when it comes to taking supplements mostly because I've never taken anything consistanly. I'm looking for something I could take or drink that would take the place of meals I miss. I lift weights 3-4 days per week and run about 3-4 days also. I'm trying to shed another 10lbs or so, at the same time trying to build muscle, strength and look good. Obviously I want to stay away from weight gainers. My time is very limited so it's really hard for me to always schedule meals. I do however eat fruit daily and try to eat some sort of veggie dialy. Hopefully there is a product to fullfill my needs.

Also I wanted some advice on "No Explode" I just purchased this a couple days ago. I needed a boost before my workouts and a co worker told me to try this. I've been taken it for 2 days and have noticed a difference in my energy pre-workout. I was also wondering if this stuff increase strength and muscle mass. I didn't see anything on the label about that but wanted to make sure. Some feedback would be greatly appreciated.

take BCAA for missed meals. If you want to shed 10lbs and are natural, nevermind the missing meals.

Your body has enough fat to take energy from.

Sounds good to me. Another quesitons.......Like I said above I'm working out atleast 3-4 days/wk and running 3-4/days. I'm trying to shed 10lbs but at the same time build muscle. Are these two activities fighting each other? Should I stop running? I would like to get a better physic. What suppliments would you recommend and which should I stay away from to help build muscle quicker?
Like I said I'd really prefer to lose a tad more weight at the same time getting stronger.

First: Relax.

Rome wasn't build in one day.

How is your diet, and how does your training look like?
If these two aren't in check, no supplement in the world will help you.

Okay, thanks for the response. I eat decent. Lots of fruits, soups, salads, sometimes I breakdown and have a snack or few Miller Lites. The main issue is I probably don't eat enough but I'm trying to shed a few more pounds. 

Training:

Chest (Day 1, Bench 5X (12, 10, 7,7,5) Incline Bench (Same) Dumbell Incline (Same) Flies (Same)
Arms (Day 2, 3 sets x 12 reps, 4 exercises for biceps and triceps)
Shoulders (Day 3, 3 sets x 12 reps, 4 exercises for shoulders)
Back (Day 3, 3 sets of 12 reps, 5 exercises for back)
Mix in abs and legs throughout the week.

I'm not trying to get huge but trying to build a little muscle at the same time losing a little extra skin in the gut.

I'm currently 6' 200lbs. and would really like to be about 190lb but still have some definition.

If there is a better workout for me, please let me know.

give legs their own day. they consist of three main muscle groups..quads, hams, and calves. you "legs" in total are half of your bodies potential muscle mass!! and you spend 4 days on the upper half, and not even one for the bottom.   think about it this way, for every pound of muscle you gain, you potentially are burning an extra 70-100 calories every day. naturally. muscle consumes calories...its just a fact.  longer the muscle belly, the more potential for size, the more potential for a faster metabolism.  burning fat goes hand in hand with building muscle. both the quad and hamstring are very long muscle..the only bigger would be the back. so limiting your growth potential here is to seriously limit your metabolism.

give quads their own day!! give hamstring a day where you are going light..maybe arms. calves can still be altrnated in during the week.
