Do BCAAs or EAAs Prevent Muscle Loss While Losing Fat (what the 2024 study says)

Now, we need a study of bodybuilding/fitness model participants who take aminos during a cutting phase to see if they preserve more lean mass during the cut

Man thank you so much for all the information to me. Your strategies have helped me so much

you should make a video regarding 2:1:1 BCAA or 4:1:1.

"Now there is new evidence!"- makes me crack a bit!

The question stays, still, that perhaps adding leucine to beginner’s (resistance training) regiment would give benefits still. It seems to be, that the benefits of extra leucine doesn’t make significant difference compared to “newbie gains”, but the benefits might still be there when taking extra leucine. The benefits just tend to catch an eye more when “newbie gains” aren’t there anymore and every little positive adding makes a big difference compared to the situation without this adding.

Interesting information about BCCAs. Sounds like it would be useful during fat loss/body recomp to preserve muscle.

I could be wrong on this, but doesn't the 9 amino acids in EAA include the 3 that makeup BCAA?

Before watching my guess based on myself is yes.

They should have done 3 groups, placebo, BCAA/EAA/Leucine, and then a general protein supplement like whey that contains a near simular amount of the BCAA/EAA/Leucine of the second group. That way the results could show if it was just more protein in general or the specific amino profile that helped more. I'd argue that except for a few very specific circumstances the general protein grouo will do better every time. This is why for most people supplementing with specific aminos is just a waste of money when just whatever cheap and tasty protein (from food, or a powder) will generally be superior.
