So what comes first, the chicken or the AA's?
lol, I kill me...
Thanks for the detailed answer, I think I'll stop using EAA's after i finish the rest of the container i have.
Also just saw this video was uploaded by layne norton,
Talks about Leucine/BCAA's vs Whole foods
To sum it up he mentioned a few things about the comparison between Leucine/BCAA's vs Whole foods
1)
Free form Leucine increases blood leucine levels more per gram of leucine vs whole food. Im assuming this means you need less
2)
Free form Leucine from BCAA's increase leucine levels for about an hour, whey increases leucine levels for about 3 hours and whole food increases leucine levels for about 5 hours
3)
Free form Leucine from BCAA's increase muscle protein synthesis by about 22% and whey increases muscle protein synthesis by about 50%
Still not sure about whether EAA's change this but it seems like I'll be switching back to using whey.
Isolate whey isn't too high in calories per serving, which was another reason I was using EAA's (10g of EAA's is 40calories, 24g of protein from gold standard whey from optimum nutrition is 120calories and has less leucine)
