At the end of the day consistency matters more Both work if you stick with it and progressively overload

if I had to cut everything I’d keep whey protein and creatine Cheap proven and they actually help with hitting protein and strength

I only switch when I stall for several weeks in a row and can’t fix it with more food or better sleep

Moderate carbs work fine as long as calories are right
