To increase the amount of creatine we carry to a level above the baseline (1g/lb), we need at least two grams per day for maintenance, plus 0.4g for every lean pound of muscle. For a 200 pound male carrying 60 pounds of lean muscle, a reasonable calculation would be:
(0.4g/lb * 60 lbs)/0.95 + 2g ≈ 27.3g
My hypothesis is that this would be the minimum amount of creatine needed, daily, to maintain maximum intracellular levels—with the division by 0.95 taking into account the amount of creatine absorbed by the rest of the tissue in the body. There may be a better way to estimate the minimum daily dose, but the data for this doesn’t yet exist.
This alleviates the need for a loading period. If you’re fairly lean, this leads to a simple formula:
POUNDS: Bodyweight * 0.15 = grams of creatine monohydrate to ingest
KILOGRAMS: Body mass * 0.3 = grams of creatine monohydrate to ingest
Although these formulas would appear to overestimate needs, bear in mind that one gram of creatine monohydrate is only 88 percent creatine. The overage takes this into account.
