    Why do people suggest food for BCAAs, food contains calories

    Because unless you are on a low protein diet or train fasted (and don't eat around the workout), than BCAA's don't provide much value.

    And why do they assume that OP didn't already know that?

    i have aminocore in keylime-cherry flavour. it's a little bit rank as far as aura but i've gotten used to the actual taste and kind of like it.

    no basis for comparison though. i never have found out if that toe-jam scent it gives off is just the way bcaa powder is.

    I have this one, too (and yes, that flavour is.....wrong. It was a hand me down). Apparently, the blue raspberry is better.

    it's actually growing on me now that we have a heat wave. i don't think i could do the full scoop, but about a quarter-dose of it in a blender full of crushed ice with a handful of strawberries tossed in . . . somehow the bitter/off taste of it becomes more like 'refeshing' than 'foul' when you chill it right down and use it as the backdrop to something else.

    next up for me [one day] is a pound of pink lemonade flavour from canadianprotein.com that i've got stashed in the cupboard until this stuff is all gone. i'm not really sure about taht one - i love their whey isolate powder but i've been a little disappointed with the solubility and grit/bitter factor in their creatine. so i guess i'll find out sometime next year when it's time to crack that.
