Taking BCAA's and Not Much Protein?

Nutrition
1

I just got some Biotest BCAA and is it pointless if I’m not consuming very much protein?

No hell its help a ton as your not getting them from food. Id try and get your protein intake up as well if its low

It helps but there’s no excuse for not getting enough protein. That’s pretty much the #1 priority in your nutrition if you’re a bodybuilder.

I am doing it for strength gains and I’m not a body builder I’m a skinny outdoors worker

How do you expect to get strength gains without protein?

Everybody is a bodybuilder. Just depends on what type of body you are building.

Since I’ve been taking BCAA’s with no protein shakes and little amounts of protein that is in my regular food I’ve had lots of energy and have been faster

Is there any reason why you are avoiding protein?

Of course you will have more energy taking BCAA’s if you are restricting your body of what it needs.

That is an old quote from the “master blaster” Joe Weider

but it’s true, perspective is one’s reality.

Also I remember some thing about BCAAs need whole proteins to help bind in your system…
