This isn’t an either/or situation. Both supplements will help you acheive your goals.
The amino fuel will NOT put mass on you. Amino fuel is simply BCAA’s (branched chain amino acids) and other amino acids that you need before and after your workout. The reason you should take this is because the BCAA’s are responsible for muscle tissue repair and help prevent muscle loss due to cortisol.
You should also take the whey protein WITH amino fuel. Whey is absorbed by the body the quickest out of any form of protein. You should drink a shake directly after working out so that the protein can repair your muscles and help them grow.
Review: Amino fuel will help preserve muscle. Whey protein repairs and builds. Take them BOTH.

If you are trying to gain mass then take both but thats obviously not what you are intending to do. The protein is much better for gaining mass espcially if yo are not taking protein already and not eating alot. Amino acids are important but are a minor booster and should be taken if you are already taking protein and usually creatine. If money is the issue than stick with the protein and take 3 shakes a day.

The Twinlabs product is basically a protein supplement in pill form. However, you have to take many more Amino Fuel pills to equal the same amount of protein and branch-chained-amino acids (BCAAs) present in one scoop of ON Whey Protein. So from an economics standpoint, the Optimum Nutrition product is much better. Not only are you getting more protein gram-for-gram, but you are also getting a better value dollar-for-dollar.
Also understand that the ON whey powder includes 5 grams of BCAAs as well. So you should be able to meet all of your needs with the Optimum Nutrition product at a much more attractive cost point and in a single supplement. You don’t need to take them both. Just take the ON whey.
Best of luck!
