Take your creatine and potein before and after your workouts. There has
been studies that show taking creatine and protein before and after
your workout can benefit you alot.

I usually drink a shake after I work out. Other than that, eat normally.

I think he meant "eat well", not like most americans.

Do you really want your body diverting energy from your workout into
digesting a big lump of creatine/protein?

Personally, I find that when I work out on an empty stomach I do much
better.

Runners seem to turn in their best times on empty stomachs too. There
was a thread on this on Rec.running, and after I thought about it, it
was true. I just thought I was running faster to get to the food. ;?)~

Somewhere relatively near the gym time is probably best. Some research
indicates the before is even better than after, but either is better for
what you're probably trying to accomplish than doing it a lot before or
a lot after.

The BCAAs are best taken shortly after a workout. Protein and creatine
before and after workouts, ideally spaced throughout the day.

Before does not have to mean RIGHT before. Besides taking protein or
creatine does not have to mean a 'big lump' of it.

Truly. And anybody whose stomach is so sensitive that they can't work
out after some whey protein and creatine, has bigger problems than when
to work out.

Well I was eating and going right to the gym. I was not only fatigued but I
was getting stomach cramps. Allowing for a little time is probably a good
idea.

That was probably from the creatine. Consuming more water helps.

I never eat right before going to the gym... I try to eat my last meal
of the night by about 4 am and I get to the gym at 7:30 am.
If I eat any later than that. I get ill. :-P

YMMV.

They say that Creatine is of no value for people into endurance sports as
Creatine aids to build strength in muscle and not endurance.
Although for your 3 x gym workouts a week it could be of benefit.
Protein generally is taken on getting up in the morning and before bed. Also
1/2 an hour before a workout.
Although there are varying opinions as Im sure someone will tell me
otherwise on here.
