When should I take Creatine and when should I use Protein Powder?

Creatine an hour before workout. Protein powder anytime you want, ideally 3 times a day as well as your meals, post workout is ideal but anytime is good.
Just take it every morning after breakfast. The timing matters less than being fully loaded.
I prefer HCl to monohydrate; it's far more bioavailable, doesn't require pounding water, and easier on the gut.
Just a single capsule a day.
If you're convinced you need protein powder, at least get the GOAT.
What makes you unconvinced/ what do you advise over protein powder? More meat consumption (including organs)?
I'm not convinced we need very much protein. Mentzer went high carb, mod protein, low fat. If I remember correctly he ate less than 100g of protein.
Get your micronutrients in (liver, oysters, egg), get some (ideally gelatinous) meat in, then consume high quality carbohydrates.
Plenty of evidence supporting benefits from regular intake of creatine, beyond the customary pre workout routine.
Make sure to drink plenty of water!
