BCAAs, Do They Help Build Muscle Mass?

BCAAs, also known as “branched-chain amino acids”, are what protein are made of. Recently, online and in magazines, some have began to recommend taking higher dosages of BCAAs, even suggesting that you can substitute a dosage for a meal and / or protein shake. The reasoning being that BCAAs don’t contain calories, technically, yet you get all of the benefits of protein. So, as a result, they say you can gain muscle on less overall calories, which would also benefit fat burning.

Well, I like how Dave Palumbo sees this matter. According to him he’s not a big believer in branched-chain amino acids. As he states, “The truth is that if you take in 6 solid meals (spaced every 2-3 hours) that contain high-quality protein, your blood amino acid levels should always be sufficient to support muscle growth and repair…..it’s probably a waste of money!”.

Dave, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

    Risky theme. I think you’ve hurt someone’s feelings, but what’s for me – I like it. No matter what they say if your opinion is true.

    Humph. Someone has to force me to read this post. It’s too big and boring. Brevity is the sister of talent, remember that.
