BCAA Question

[gokix811]

I consume whole foods before my workout (i.e. greek yogurt or piece of bread with banana), but I'm looking for an alternative such as BCAA because I'm also looking to cut calories. I've read BCAA helps with recovery, but does it boost energy if taken pre/intra workouts? Do I need it or should I just stick with whole foods? What are your favorite brands? I'm leaning towards AI RecoveryPro. Many thanks!

BCAAs do help with recovery. They can also help re energy, yes. Whether you use BCAAs or whole food pre-training is entirely your personal preference. If you're going to get some, I recommend the Red Raspberry RecoverPRO - this is my favorite BCAA product and a staple of mine.
