HELP!
I am actually trying to get some resources for my son to use. He is a high school senior and is planning on playing football in college. He will be attending several try-outs soon and has been hitting the gym hard since the end of football season in preparation for the college visits. He has put on quite a bit of mass but says he is also putting on fat that he can't seem to get rid of. I have lots of questions regarding supplements, work-outs to help improve speed, diet, etc. So, here goes...
1. What type of supplements should he be taking? I believe he is taking a nitrous oxide supplement and is also using some kind of protein supplement. I noticed that supplement has a lot of calories in it and that may be where his extra fat has come in. Vitamins, supplements, or whatever...I need help here!
2. How often and what types of foods should he be eating? A diet plan here would be very helpful. He says he is eating 6 small meals a day but being a teenage boy, his definition of a small meal is probably a whole lot different than what is realistically a small meal. Obviously he needs enough carbs for energy and protein for muscle building but I don't know how to put it together for him.
3. Work out plan? He is currently gaining quite a bit of mass. His biceps are bigger than my head and his chest, back, and shoulders are getting bigger as well. Once he signs with a school, he will start their training program but any suggestions on a work out schedule that may help him to improve what he is currently doing will be appreciated!

Google nitrous oxide
I Googled nitrous oxide then clicked on the Wikipedia link. As far as I found, it's not a health supplement and its use as such could cause unfortunate consequences such as brain damage.
I like Bob's Red Mill natural whey protein concentrate. The only other ingredient in it is soy lecithin. No sugar, etc. I blend it into a smoothie with a banana, juice, and Benefiber. (The banana's a good source of potassium.)
General Nutrition Centers (GNC) offer quality multivitamins in twice a day formulas.
Other than that, I would recommend against football. I've seen too many long-term injuries from it. Long-term physical injuries can be emotionally challenging as well.
