Just wondering is whey protein and creatine enough for me. Im 20 year old 5'11 and 170 and looking to lose weight and put on some muscle, should I take casein, bcaa, glutamine??. Also when should I take my supplements I usually work out at 9am for an hour and a half. Any help is much appreciated

The best thing you can do for yourself is to go here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=156380183
And educate yourself on proper nutrition and then implement it. That will do far more for you than any supplement will.
Supplement wise, protein powder and creatine are good choices.
Protein powder: use anytime throughout the day to help you rich your daily protein intake requirement, timing is not important. It's really just powdered food (similar in cals and macros to a piece of chicken breast).
Creatine: 3-5g a day, no need to cycle, no need to load, doesn't matter when you take it nor what you take it with
Skip the glutamine, BCAAs and casein.Army Vet (11A)

You have 2 of what I consider the 4 staples down. I consider the basic staples to be a multi, fish oil, creatine, and protein powder. These are not musts. Supplements just help a good diet plan and training routine, that are not needs.
Progressive overload + progressive eating = gains. Simple as that!
