Tagcaver, Starcat - glad you're finding this thread as helpful as I am.
Starcat, yes, I like to get glutamine into me IMMEDIATELY after all training, and slow protein with fat after that.
I DON'T recommend doing cardio after supper unless you wait at least 2 and preferrably 3 hours after eating. I don't do cardio unless EITHER it's after weights, OR it's on a low-carb/keto day, OR it's first thing in the AM, either empty, or with only a small amount of slow protein and fat (single fried egg in butter). Otherwise, you'll just burn off your food. No carbs ever after cardio.
That's me, anyway.
And I love creatine. I don't think it's worth taking until you are really pushing yourself, though. My personal opinion on it is that it's a waste of money otherwise.
I have tried taking it as many ways as I've read about, and since I like to get in a bit of fast pre-workout carb, I take my creatine then. I sometimes take an extra hit by itself after lifting, but I don't take in post-lifting carbs because of fat spillover, so if I do, it's in water. I don't bother with a loading phase though. I got a kidney stone when I did this, although it was my own fault - I didn't drink enough water.
Cheers!
