When I went to enter this in my food diary (I take Unniversal Stack) it showed I had 10 g protein in 1 scoop BUT on my Stack label it shows "0" for everything and protien isnt on there.

Also wondering how many grams I should get a day. I took this right after excercise. I'm looking to gain some muscle to start burning fat later.

    I cant remember what mine says but bcaa is amino acids that are the building blocks for protein, not actual protien. Perhaps whoever entered that label combined the grams of amino acids and counted it as Protein. I wouldnt count it unless the label actually states there are calories from a serving....honestly I never thought to look! I will have to do that now : )
