When should i take creatine and protein?
Creatine is not the best for you...But it does provide a good energy boost. If you take creatine, do it 20-30 minutes before you workout so you have time for the energy to kick in. Protein is a great after workout thing. It builds and repairs ripped muscles, but DO NOT take protein in pill form. It's not good. Eat foods with a lot of protein, but in moderation. Too much protein turns to waste. Good luck.

I have heard rumors that creatine hurts kidney in a long run, well at first I digest that fact but I dont believe it in my subconscious mind and I started little digging about fact.I came across with lot of articles saying how creatine works , its very essential to understand what creatine does to your body in initial phase. There are two phase in creatine consuption. Intially you need to take 3 scoops in a day for a week and then start taking 2 scoop for a month. You will significantly change in the weight you are lifting. Try this on bench press because I did that and it really worked I am lifting 60% more weight now than I was before . I suggest try muscletech creatine.Creatine increase muscle synthesis process and main thing it does it to increase muscle strength.I am telling you all this based on my person experience about creatine. Back to your question , yes you can take whey protein and creatine together. I take them daily with 2 scoop of whey and 7gm of creatine mix into it.Now what it does , you might feel little dehydration initially, dont worry its nothing, BUT KEY point is to drink lot of water while you are on creatine.Hope this helps.Thanks
Should I be taking Creatine and Whey Protein?
i suggest taking the creatine from the start. It is suggested taking 25g's for the first (i think 3) days, not all in one serving. then taking 5g's a day, right after working out, and on rest days, take the creatine right when you wake up, before any food. The creatine will help you lose weight because it speeds up your metabolism. Although it won't look like it because all the added water to your muscles will make them look fuller. While taking creatine, be sure to keep up your hydration, because if you don't, it could cause damage to your kidneys. Also, you shouldn't take creatine for more then 12 weeks in a row. short answer: yes, take both
