I'm planning on getting some protein shakes to increase my calorie (protein) intake and working out 3 times a week, but I don't want to gain fat?
Has anyone done this?
BTW, do you guys think I should forget about dumbbell curls, and just do chinups/other bicep exercises?
thanks

You need to decide what you want to do - lose fat or gain muscle. You will lose a bit of fat while gaining muscle if you do it right, and more muscle will lead to more fat loss. But I think everyone should start with muscle gain - the more muscle you have, the easier it is to burn fat.
As long as you are consuming enough protein and calories to put on muscle, and not eating too much carbs, you won't get fat. Assuming you are working out properly.
