Bonus Q&A - More Protein vs. More Carbs, Is Creatine Worth It for Muscle?


Listen Later

We're answering 2 questions from the Wits & Weights Facebook group:

  1. Should I lower my protein to get more carbs (or vice versa), especially during a muscle-building phase?
  2. Does creatine really make much of a difference for performance and muscle growth if you're at least 80% dialed in with everything else?

Have you ever wondered how balancing protein and carbohydrates while in a caloric surplus can impact your muscle growth and workout performance?

This episode tackles that burning question as we explore the delicate dance between medium and high protein levels and what it means for muscle protein synthesis, satiety, and recovery.

Whether you're using the Macrofactor app or simply curious, learn how to maximize gains while balancing protein and carbs for the best balance between muscle growth, recovery, and performance.

We also dive into creatine supplementation, discussing its potential benefits both inside and outside the gym.
