It's a common one, I'm sure I picked it up from a gym meme somewhere.

Diet is essential regardless of your goals. However, if you an excellent diet that promotes health that still won't give you the benefits of exercises such as:

Muscle mass (We should all have muscle regardless)
Healthy CV system
Injury prevention (often overlooked)
Greater bone dentistry
Flexibility
Agility
Coordination

For example.

I brought some Whey Isolate protein powder to start taking after I have been to the gym.  At the moment I am going to the gym three times a week.  Yesterday I did an hour of weights and took the whey protein drink when I got back from the gym.  Should I take this on the days that I dont go to the gym or just the gym days?

As long as you get enough protein it does not matter when you take it or what form it is in.  Ideally get all your protein from food such as meat, eggs, beans etc and just top up with shakes if and when required.

I was asking in the sense of you can do one or the other, but not both. Of course diet and exercise is the ideal.

If energy in is less than energy out you will lose weight...  It's simple thermo-dynamics... For some folks to achieve that equation solely on diet would mean they are eating so little they would be malnourished, so in some circumstances you have to increase the energy out side of the equation to stay healthy ie get some more exercise.

I registered on my fitness pal yesterday and it said my protein was 27g which I think is too low.  I went over my 1200 calories by 113 calories, which i am not too concerned about as its obviously more important to get the protein in.  I eat meat or fish with my evening meal every day and some days have scrambled eggs for breakfast other days I have porridge.  On the days I have porridge for breakfast I will have a couple of eggs during the day, but what I wondered was is there a limit to how many eggs you can eat in a day to get the protein up? I was reading that I should have about 150g of protein a day.  Not sure how to get all of that in.  I didn't have whey powder yesterday because it was a rest day.  I am going to the gym three times a week for around an hour to an hour and twenty minutes each time, and also do some kettlebell exercises at home.

For most women around 60-70g is all you need.
