I need a little insight into when I should be supplementing and with what. I do a lift or bootcamp workout every other day and im adding in yoga and cardio other days. How much is too much? And with a lower calorie quota what is a good way to fit in the protein.

I'm not an expert, but I've found the following supps to be effective with my routine of lifting heavy 3 - 4x/wk and high intensity cardio 2 - 3x/wk:
2:1:1 shake after heavy lifting; casein shake before bed; glutamine; fish oil; magnesium; Joint Matrix and a multi vitamin.
Lean proteins such as chicken breast, tuna, etc give you a good dose of protein without a lot of calories.
Also, what you take in and how much, depends on your fitness goals and types of workouts. Do you lift heavy? Are you trying to lose fat?
I tried a bunch of different things before I found what works for me. If you have more specific questions based on your workouts I can give you ideas on what I and other women I know have done.
