well i take creatine and protein supplements .

protein - EAS 100% whey

creatine - body fortress super advanced muscle mass and stregnth fuel (http://www.bodyfortress.com/images/supplementfacts/067406.pdf)

...

well i was wondering should i just take like 2 glasses of milk for like 16 grams of protein and some meat ? because i'm pretty young and don't want to mess up my body ...



and the creatine. should i be taking creatine at such a young age ? i heard you get jacked but when you stop taking it you get screwed over... so i was wondering should i just do everything natrual ?

There is nothing wrong with creatine. All this nonsense about it messing you up is really sickening.

    for protein and calories take a look at this chart or scoobys:

    current weight      Calories                                     Protein
    280lbs (127kg)    700cals x 6 meals = 4200    46g x 6 meals= 280g protein
    260 lbs (118kg)    650cals x 6 meals = 3900    43g x 6 meals= 260g protein
    240 lbs (109kg)    600cals x 6 meals = 3600    40g x 6 meals= 240g protein
    220 lbs (100kg)    550cals x 6 meals = 3300    36g x 6 meals= 220g protein
    200 lbs (91kg)    500cals x 6 meals = 3000    33g x 6 meals= 200g protein
    180 lbs (81kg)    450cals x 6 meals = 2700    30g x 6 meals= 180g protein
    160 lbs (72kg)    400cals x 6 meals = 2400    26g x 6 meals= 160g protein
    140 lbs (63kg)    350cals x 6 meals = 2100    23g x 6 meals= 140g protein

    If you eat according to this you will not 'mess up your body'
    As for creatine, i took it when i started working out for the first time a couple years back, and recently wrote a post about it. I was 17 at the time, a little older than you, but it may have some realavence to your situation.  Read it in this thread:   Topic: i rlly need an answer...

    just remember, most creatine buckets dont have serving sizes depending on body weight on the side. If I weighed as much as jay cutler in the muscle tec adds i woulda taken the full servings of my creatine, but i didnt! hah hope this helps

    Just take 5g of creatine monohydrate everyday and you'll see results.

    well the chart increases in a linear fashion.. and holds steady at 15 calories per pound of body weight. If you are 108 pounds you should be eating roughly 1600 calories a day in 6 evenly spaced meals. For protein, a gram of protein per pound of body weight is all you need to keep building muscle. But remember, your body can only take up so many calories and so much protein at a time.. so its very important to space out your 1600 calories and 108 grams of protein all throughout the day, and to be getting as much of this through whole meals and good food sources.However, a quality whey protein powder can be used if necessary.
     (6 meals a day, each containing about 265 calories and 18 grams of protein is what a person your weight should be eating)
    As for creatine, I would reccomend doing your loading phase with half of what it says on the tub, unless you can find a tub that gives serving sizes based on body weight. Then, after the loading phase take a half dose of the maitenance phase. I would also reccomend cycling it... taking it for a month or two then stopping for a month or two. I took creatine the first time at age 17 and did exactly what im telling you (taking half doses for both the loading and mainenance phases, and cycled it) and i got the results i expected.
    Remember tho, dont focus on supplements and supplement add hype! Eat good food from good sources evenly spaced throughout the day, and lift with good form, focus and intensity. Regardless of any supplements you take, you will get results just through good eating and workout habits!
