I was wondering if I should be taking creatine and protein while im trying to loose fat and lean down. I intend on trying to build muscle after im a bit leaner.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Should I still be taking creatine and protein while im trying to lean down?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yea but most of the creatine is gone after cooking. Like estrogen, creatine is reposable for alot of water retention, so Id say it wouldnt hurt to drop the creatine while cutting, but definatly keep the protien to keep your macro-breakdown solid.

Creatine and Protein supplements make you hold unnecessary weight. Your should not be taking either if you trying to lean out.
Creatine takes water from your organs and feeds them to the muscles,thus requiring you to intake more water then you have before to function the same as before. It really doesn't do much. More of a placebo IMHO.
Most protein supplements contain junk ingredients,even most of the expensive/better ones out there. If your in a cram for protein and don't have time to cook...

Best form of protein you don't have to cook. No ingredients other then pure egg whites. I'd make sure you can stand pure egg whites alone before ordering it. My family and friends ALWAYS complained of how they smelt when I cooked them and the powder form isn't far off from it.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Even though you're leaning out, you still have to pump some iron. Keep the supplements.

If the OP is wanting to lean out,using supplements will only adversely effect his goals.
Next time are you go buy supplements go look at the ingredients list. 99% are filled with junk.

While this may be true for 3-8ish egg yokes a day I tried running near 20 whole eggs a day and 20 whites. By end of the first week I would get this weird feeling in my heart,it wasn't super noticeable,but when I'd sit at my chair at work it would act up for like 5 minutes a day. I dropped back down to 3-8ish with 40 whites and it went away.
Weirdly enough I'm able to eat 2 lbs of ground beef/day and not have the issue.

It's much easier to build your foundation of muscle first, then lean out.

Be careful with all the eggs if you have a a family history of high cholesterol, or eat like crap besides.
