Nope I only use the whey for inbetween my 5-6 real food meals. I eat so much sometimes that instead of a steak I will eat an entire roast. I have to have the body fat done a different way because I use one the electronic ones and I hear that if you use creatine the water in your system will throw it off. I lift heavy everyday but only for about an hour and I generally seperate all body parts so I hit them each 1 time per week. like mon- chest, tues-back, weds-legs, thurs shoulders, and fri - arme and I take sat-sun off. then about every six weks or so I rotate it all around so I don't get bored. I even stopped cardio for the most part because I have a pretty fast metabolism anyway. I guess I will have to up it to 2 roasts for dinner,LOL
