Well I would keep on the good nutrition. You are still young and the creatine and the protien will help you along the way. Just make sure the protien you are using is loww in fat. Like under 1grm per serving. You should try and get 1 grm of protien per lb of body weight.

You should strive for a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight at the very least strength training. If you are not getting enough in your whole food consumption, then a protein drink may very well be in order for you. In fact, I know of no one trying to put on muacle that has any success that doesn't use a protein supplement. Just remember, it is a "supplement". There is no magic involved, just feeding your hungry muscles adequate nutrition they need to grow.
