Yeah, you should probably take some EAAs, or BCAAs if you don’t have EAAs available. But why not just us a protein powder, which is just as easy to consume and often less pricey?

But EAAs and BCAAs don’t have calories, right? Nope, every amino acid provides an average of 4 Calories per gram, just like protei

The obesity paradox is a fallacy born of poor research methodology. It all started with Katherine Flegal from the CDC who published research showing that the lowest mortality rates were not seen in Americans at a normal body weight, but in those who were overweight. This has been used as justification by many that being overweight or obese. Being modestly obese was protective against dying compared to being at a normal body weight.
