I just use that cheap ass body fortress whey isolate and it works pretty well. Typical day is something like...
protein shake
pack of precooked sausages
2-3 deli meat sammichs
can of tuna
cheese
can of peas or beans
junk food
another sammich
c4- before workout
protein shake
some random large dinner (pizza, burgers, or pasta typically)
I was using creatine for about a month and a half and drinking like a gallon and a half to 2 gallons of water a day but, I wasnt really seeing any results so i stopped taking it. I havent noticed any loss of size or strength since quiting it either.
