What is a good nutritional supplement just to stay "toned"?

Allright, what I am looking for is a good product for a guy like me. I am looking for something that keeps my muscles strong and toned, but not make me freakishly big. I run a couple days a week, and do sets of push ups, curls, and benchpress 5 days a week at my house. It keeps me in pretty good shape, but I amm looking for a supplement to make it a little easier. What I mean by that is, if I miss 2 days in a row, I literally feel like I have gained 15 pounds and have no muscles left. I am just looking for a good product to help me keep (and slightly INCREASE) my "toned" factor, but not make me freakishly big. Never really taken anything before, so relatively new at this! I went to GNC.com and they have literally thousands of supplements, with no real laymens descriptions. Thanks! PS. Dont think it needs to be said, but I DONT want steroids or HGH!

1. there is no supplement that will do that. the body composition is mainly determined by the diet that you follow. the diet that has direct effect on the endocrine system and the endocrine system governs the human body. a low calorie diet comprised of whole foods will result in a lean body a low calorie diet high in processed foods will not. as the caloric intake is decreased the quality of the foods that are consumed must increase this means foods provided by mother nature. man made foods are not healthy despite what the manufactures of them may claim. the less chemicals that you point in your body on a daily basis the healthier you will be in the short and long term. remember you are what you eat exercising at a high level of intensity causes the greatest increase in the resting metabolic rate after the conclusion of exercise. with resistance this equates to using training loads at or near 80% of the 1RM. with cardio this would be the equivalent of training at around 70% of the VO2Max or greater
2. Really good answer from lv consu....The only thing I'd add to that is don't bench every day...you tear down with the movements, you build back with rest...That's a day off weight training. Charlie C.
