MSN: Kristyen Tomick, assistant professor of nutrition, explained how water weight may account for the initial creatine-related weight gain, but increased lean muscle mass can play a part too. “In resistance-trained individuals who are concomitantly supplementing with creatine, increased lean muscle mass may also account for some of the weight gained over time," said Tomick.
