Creatine - best to take on a bulk?
Am i right in thinking that there's little point taking creatine when on a calorie deficit? Building muscle and a calorie surplus go hand in hand, so i can't imagine that taking creatine on a deficit is much good. Thoughts?

Goal for carbs & fat
My summary for today shows Carbs 43%/45% Fat 46%/30% From this I understand that the relation between carbs and fat should be approx. 1.5:1. In the "see all nutrients" window, it shows this goal total carbs: 228 g fat: 55 g This is obviously far from 1.5:1. What is the reason for this?

Bananas
WOW! I had no idea bananas have so many carbs. Thinking I need to find a new snack! Two a day just isn't the right plan. They are "free" with Weight Watchers. With all those carbs I don't know how they can be?!
