Whey Protein: GOOD or BAD?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. Fat and muscle are too entirely different tissues. If you're skinny and taking WP with the aim to gain mass, try increasing your regular calorie intake almost tenfold. If you have a naturally high metabolism, eating much more in general will probably be the most difficult obstacle in your training program.

Riggs is right for the most part. If you are an absolute beginner then there is something called 'noob gains' which turns fat into muscle. But for the majority, if not all regular exercisers, there is two viable options - either you lose fat (which also makes you lose muscle, unfortunately) or you gain muscle (which in turn makes you heavier and more bulkier). You cannot do both at once, it isn't possible. I would suggest for most people to lose fat and weight first, because it is much easier to put on muscle afterwards then having to lose all the bulk and cut. It hurts your body and you often find yourself hungry. But in the end it's personal choice.
