creatine and whey protein

coolhand21 Posts: 2 Joined: 2009/04/02	2009/04/22, 03:31 AM I have been working out for about 6 weeks now (going about 5 or 6 times a week) alternating between weight lifting and cardio. I purchased a 2.5lb bottle of whey powder and want to know if it would be beneficial to also take creatine along with whey. I know whey has creatine in it. would it be beneficial to stack creatine and whey? My goal is to gain muscle mass and loose fat.

( i am full student working part time so my daily eating schedule varies day to day)

If you want to gain muscle you have to eat (as cleanly as possible) like a horse and lift heavy. The idea for gaining muscle mass is that you take in more calories than you burn throughout the day so that your body has something to build the extra muscle out of. Does that make sense? Right now what you're doing is like tugging the rope from both ends. You're dieting for weight loss, but trying to supplement for weight gain.
