190 grams is a poo load of protein. Hard to do.

Eat some fiber or you're not going to poop for a week.

190 should be fine. Its on the high side, but as long as the rest of his diet follows suit, its not a dangerous level (over 2 grams per pound)

[Jase]

hit my calories today, but 'only' 174g of protein.  I don't think I can eat anything else.  Balls.

[Darth Biscuit]

174 is still a lot.

 

Even with a 20 gram protein bar in the morning and 50 grams after I workout I rarely get over 120.

Those cookies look delish...are they pretty tasty?

[Joscott]

I'm not a huge sweets person so I like how they are not overly sweet and have a nice peanut butter flavor.

My coworkers have affectionately named them cow pie cookies.

What do you guys think of creatine?  Is it something you would recommend, or just stick to protein?

Depends on your goals.  What are they?

 

Creatine works.  It provides a boost for muscle gains (size) and strength gains as well.  

 

I can definitely tell a difference strength wise when I'm on it.

 

 

I am cycling off of it this week for about a month.

I really don't want to get huge or anything.  Would prefer ultimately to be ripped.

 

A friend of mine that has gotten huge (muscle wise) over the past year said he did it by working out 5 times a week and taking creatine and protein supplements.

I hope that's all it takes, I'll be in good shape.

Seriously, I had never really taken creative regularly prior to about the last month. I have noticed an increase in strength, not huge, but noticeable and should hopefully help me get better results. It's not going to make you huge by itself, so I would worry about that.

[Darth Biscuit]

Creatine won't make you huge...  and you probably won't notice it much yet if you haven't been working out too long.

 

It's definitely an aid on those goals though.

 

Try some creatine monohydrate for a month or so and see what you think. Don't buy the expensive stuff, the cheapo stuff is the same.

[Jase]

I always end up coming off creatine after a few weeks, because the chalkiness always ends up making me gag.  And the pills/tabs are too expensive to take in the right dosage.

Cheap, doesn't taste like crap and mixes well in water.

 

Usually though, I get enough creatine in my pre and post workout supplements that I don't take any extra, but I used that stuff for a while late last year and could tell a difference.

[Jase]

I've heard 'mixes well in water' from products I've used before, but it never seems to work that way for me.  I must have hard water or something.
