A member asked:

I'am a weight trainer what food should i eat is protein shake bade for me ? should i take creatine is it healthy to use ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Protein intake: Whey protein is excellent. Don't overdose. Egg white is superior to all. Quinoa is excellent. Beans and lentils are excellent. Milk protein is excellent. Whole grains are good but not sufficient. Nuts are excellent. Yogurt is excellent. Creatine not necessary and can promote muscle tearing.
