A member asked:
I perform high intensity intervals and i want to know: if i take 3 grams of creatine 1 hour before the workout, i'll get fat? my goal is fat burning!

Protein: protein, regardless of source is 4 calories per gram. Protein supplement prior to interval training is a good idea and will not cause weight gain

No: It will help you to build muscles. However side effects on the kidney may be a concern.
