Should I ????????????

time to lurk more and read some threads before you just make them. These two questions are regularly asked almost on a daily basis.

**** yeah man take that ****!

Yes because creatine works by building up in your system, and you need to hit your protein because your muscles are still rebuilding from your last workout

You also need to lurk more rather than giving out advice. He may be obtaining adequate protein just fine through whole food sources.

But at what cost?

OP is 14 and obviously lives at home, so most likely gets whole food for free.

yes. think about it, if your eating eggs on your day off, your still getting protein. A shake is just a supplement to help you hit your macros each day. If you are eating enough protein and don't need a shake, then don't take the shake. I like to stay consistent with creatine and normally take 5grams on days off.

Creatine - yes
Whey protein - depends if you can get enough protein from other sources, but whey is the superior source out of all proteins. Love me some NF Pro

Take creatine. I recommend taking ON Micronized Creatine
