Emppty stomach cardio and BCAA

[Kiki]

How much BCAA should be taken prior to empty stomach AM cardio?


Thanks, Kiki


Edit: I'm using 1 serving of the following BCAA, is this enough for 45 mins AM empty stomach cardio at low intensity? Basically a slightly fast paced walk.

I always try to take in around 5 grams before cardio. If possible I also take a bottle with about 3 more with me to drink intra.

bump, added a pic

5 grams before cardio

5grams of protein listed you mean?

Thats not a bcaa product. That's a powdered amino complex which suck.

[matt77]

^^ What he said. BCAAs are different. No, I mean't I take 5gm of pure BCAA before cardio. Well I take it before and intra while lifting too.

Oh, ok thanks. I thought they were the same thing because of the amino acids it had in it. Good to know this stuff sucks then, won't buy this stuff again.

The best pure stuff i've found is made by nutrabio. Priced well and very good quality.
