5g or 10g of BCAA's Before Morning Cardio?

[M302_Imola]

Like the title says what would you guys recommend to spare muscle as you shed the fat during fasted steady state cardio (60-70% MHR)? I am using ON powder BCAA's and the serving size is 1 tsp which equals 5g total (2.5g Leucine but I forget the other two aminos amounts). Should I double up (to 10g total) or is this overkill? I also have a cup of black coffee, in order to get some cafeine in my system. Not trying to over think this, just curious as your opinions.

I'd say none, stick to a high protein diet.

well before fasted state morning cardio... there wont be any protein in your body from your diet. so some bcaa's or a small whey shake before will do the trick

[IM708]

Go with the whey then

[Mind]

10 mg

and don't use whey, coz ur body is going to burn it first.

Probably 1.25g isoleucine and 1.25g valine. Most like the 2:1:1 ratio.

no need.

have a whey protein before. the empty stomach myth is rubbish. u just eat up your muscle instead which im sure u dont want.

its like driving a car with no petrol. it aint gonna work !!!

Well I have been taking in BCAA's before cardio for awhile now and haven't seen any muscle waste. Not I only do pre-breakfast cardio about twice a week so it's not like I'm hitting it 7 days a week. My other cardio session are pwo.
