1. Depending on your bedtime, I'd say latest, have a snack 1-2 hours before sleep. Don't go to bed after a heavy meal.

2. Creatine, always follow the recommended daily dosage. However, as for long term usage, since creatine is relatively new (Last 10-15 years) on the market, and there is no definitive proof on long term effects (esp. kidney/liver damage) I tend to do 6 weeks on 6 weeks off.

3. The difference? Preference mostly, some people prefer early morning workouts (I do), some people prefer midday, others prefer evening. Although, if I remember correctly your testosterone levels are highest just after waking which "could" help your workout.

4. YES. Never do weights on an empty stomach, best case scenario you wont lift/perform as well as you usually would, worst case scenario you could end up fainting/throwing up whatever you have left in your stomach.

5. The instructor in me wants to say yes, but in practice, probably no. I mean, it's good to raise the heart rate and get the blood pumping, but you can do that just as easily with a few quick warm up weights sets. Proper stretching and joint mobility exercise both before and after are very important though.

What kind of cardio are you doing? Try mixing it up a bit with swimming, cycling, running. As well as doing some weights, not necessarily OMG ROID ARNIE WEIGHTS, just low weight high reps exercises for the whole body. All else I can suggest is that your body has adjusted to your training regime somewhat and your training is obviously still improving your cardiovascualar endurance, but is maybe not entering fat burn mode. At a higher heart rate (about 80-85% of maximum heart rate), you do burn more total calories, but at a lower heart rate (60-65%) you burn a higher percentage of fat calories (from fat tissue). So essentially, what you need to do is maintain a heart rate of about 65% of your maximum (maximum being 220 minus your age = ~200), so you want to be maintaining ~120-130 Beats per minute, for longer periods of time, up to an hour/90 minutes.

Hard work, good diet, and some good genes.

Yeah, I changed my career goals

Eat less, eat better, exercise more.

Try a variety of exercises, and make sure they're catered towards burning fat as opposed to getting built.

I've been eating Healthy food and doing the Exercises for the abs, but there is no results till now. I've already lost a lot of weight.

Sport training, mainly basketball and football (australia rules football, lots of running and kicking and stuff)

Also ride my bike alot since i cant drive till may FML

and yea, i would say i give it about 50-75% at trainings, but game day matches i would assume my heart rate would be really high.

but yea, i was thinking of going to the gym at university and joining, prob get swimming again, and go do some weights

I've heard that doing your cardio after your weight workout is best for optimizing fat weight loss because your body has burned most of the calories that are burned before fat molecules.
