creatine and protein dose question

[Paul Frideck]

Hi everyone, I just need to know if the creatine and protein powder dose is the same when you are cutting as when you are bulking ?

Dosages would not change BUT keep in mind that protein has calories and calories matter when cutting. If you are eating absurd amounts of protein, you won't loose weight.

Also, if cutting, make sure to use a good quality whey isolate that isn't loaded with fillers. A lot of protein powders on the market are loaded with things like sugar, high fructose corn syrup etc. to make the product taste good. All you want to see in your protein supplement is whey isolate, natural flavours and stevia.

Trevor is correct. It is, after all, less calories equates to cutting and more to bulking.

protein powder and creatine is far from the end all when it comes to bulking and cutting in the first place

your diet is going to be the #1 question

Protein has no set "dose". It is simply food so just track your calories to ensure you are in a deficit when cutting.

Creatine dose would be the same. 5-10g per day. Just keep in mind that some people do retain water while using creatine. Just make sure you are drinking enough water to limit this effect.
