BCAAS for curbing appetite? Branch chain amino acids

[massivemark]

I read recently that taking BCAAS can help when dieting because it helps to curb appetite? Anyone else hear about this? What are your experiences with BCAAS ?

I take bcaas and eaas. They don't seem to curb my apetite any.

Maybe if they are flavored. Some people take them to replace solid protein/shake meals. If that's the case i would go with eaa or eaa/bcaa mix over stand alone bcaa.

bcca eaa combo can prevent catabolism in strict dieting phase when u r going full blown in every dept but does nothing for appetite suppression in my opinion

I keep them in all the water I drink. About 6-8 servings a day for 2 gallons or so and I think it helps with appetite. May just be the flavor but zero cal water flavorers did nothing. I add more when Im prepping and it helps more than plain water

They seem to slightly blunt my hunger during a prolonged fasting period.

What BCAA are you using? Brand / flavor?

I keep EAAs in when I am dieting, but I haven't noticed any curbing of my appetite at all. The flavor is nice, but that's about it.

Whatever is cheapest. Usually get 200 serving bags from my protein for $25

I have taken BCAA's and never really felt it helped curb my appetite. For me ECA was amazing at curbing appetite. It was almost worth taking just for that reason.

i think they help

i liked to alternate between solid food meals and LBA's or Flavored liquid aminos. i basically would eat a solid meals then when i got hungry i would have Liquid Aminos or LBA's and hunger would go away for about 20-30 minutes then it would return. at that point i would eat. doing that all day everyday got me a lot of extra protein in without causing bloat and helped keep me a bit sane. little farther time in between meals is nice.

Fit2serve has got it right, bcaas keep u anabolic during a workout and full in between for maybe a half hour but dont replace any food. Stick to tuna and beef etc
