All the material, and research I've seen debates any real benefit. With protein, more than about 18% /day for muscle training is just too much. So the liver has to break it down, and convert it to carbs. Creatine I believe is still an open question, but there hasn't been a lot of research showing clearly one way or the other. My understanding of the subject is that a high-fiber, low fat, nutrient rich diet of primarily vegetables, matching what the NIH recommends, is really the best path to performant diet.
