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.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Should I still be taking creatine and protein while im trying to lean down?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.
