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. \n\nProtein 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. \n\nTo burn fat:\n\n1. Drink lots of water\n\n2. Exercise at 60-75 percent maximum intensity for 30 minutes 4-    5 days a week\n\n3. Limit your intake of saturated fats and carbohydrates\n\n4. Increase your intake of poly and monounsaturated fats (almonds, peanutbutter, avacados)\n\n5. Get plenty of sleep\n\nIn general, avoid products that contain creatine or other "miracle" ingredients.
