So today I forgot my branch chain amino acids! UGH. I would normally take 2 doses of BCAAS to prevent muscle breakdown pre workout meal(post workout aminos). So I break my fast at 12 noon. But today I only had my BCAA drink at 7 and will miss the 9:-9:30 1. I do hve a 200 calorie shake available for me at that time.
So the question is
Do I break fast and feed the body what it needs???
or
Do I just skip the the shake and know that its not that huge of a deal????
It will add in 200 calories today that I didn't account for and will take away from my dinner
Thanks
