I'm 16, weigh 135 lbs and have a tub of whey protein. I usually eat plain powder and chase with milk roughly an hour before a work out. How many grams of protein should i consume?

Usually one would consume 1-1.5 grams of protien per pound of body weight.
Hope this helps.

bb1fit gave me this website some time ago and I have found that they have a lot of information about protein. They send you quite a bit of free newsletters with useful information. http://www.bodybuildingworld.com/

since you are young and smaller i would say 1 gram per pound of body weight.

Yeah, about 1 to 1.5 grams per pound would sound about right.
