[Question] creatine while eating 1,400 calories — worth it
creatine while eating 1,400 calories — worth it, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Fat-free mass index is a ratio of fat-free mass to height squared. It moves when either term does, which makes it awkward to interpret during active weight change. Some lean mass loss…
Disagree — slower loss does not automatically preserve lean mass. Protein and training do the work, not the rate on its own.
Removed a prescriptive nutrition target aimed at another member. Describe your own intake instead.
Correcting myself upthread: 19 months between scans, not the figure I gave.
Push back: strength dropping in a deficit is not the same as lean mass loss. Related, not identical.
That protein figure is grams per day, not grams per kilogram. Different claim entirely.
Yes. Nobody here is prescribing training or nutrition and the good posts say so.
Small fix — that is fat-free mass, not muscle mass. The scan cannot separate them the way the post assumes.
