I know you're all an intelligent lot around here, so views would be welcome on the following.
BCAAs blends, like Xtend (using currently) are insulinogenic, ie cause a rise in insulin. I can understand the rational for taking this during training and post workout, but what about cardio?
I train with weights on an empty stomach in the morning, followed by a CV session. Now if I contiue taking the BCAAs whilst doing my 30 - 40 mins CV will I blunt fat burning, as insulin prevents the breakdown of fat. Could it be working against me? Would I be better only consuming pre-weights or early in the session and not taking during cardio session? Any views?
