Hey everyone,
Three days ago I bought some whey protein mix and also creatine pills. I have a few questions.
1. I do full body workouts every 2 days. I am currently taking three protein shakes a day, one in the morning, one after a workout (or on non workout days I just take one mid day) and one before sleeping. I am wondering if this is too much? With 23g per serving, plus the milk I mix it with, that's about 30g three times a day. So 90g plus all the other protein from foods. I weigh 140 pounds and I am 17 years old. It is whey protein so as I have read, it digests quickly. Maybe I should stop taking it before bed? This is my main question, any feedback would be appreciated.
2. About the creatine. First off, my friend is very against it because there has only been 15 years of research. Any comments on that? Second question about creatine, how long until you started to notice a difference in your muscles? Most people I ask say 1-2 weeks. I am taking 4 pills a day, 2 when I wake up and 2 before working out (or on non workout days, just anytime in mid day).
Thanks in advance. I'd really appreciate anyones feedback and opinions on any of this.

It should be good protein though, personally, I switched to ON mainly because of the flavor..
