My understanding was that bcaa were pretty useless if you are already getting a good amount of quality protein.

@danb is correct. 11kg since Jan is fucking epic-good work man!
As you get leaner it gets harder.
Some people suggest BCAA's for pre-fasted workouts, as a performance booster, and I used to use them to get through on-calls without feeling like I was going to die.
Anyways, keep up the excellent work! -
I wouldn't discount them - if you're calorie restricting it's probably quite easy to overstate your protein intake.
But I find this site pretty useful for these types of thing.

I read somewhere that bcaa could break a fasted state, not sure whether it's true or not but worth considering. I think they're probably really beneficial for increasing the effectiveness of a fasted workout though.
On a very gentle downward slope since January, fair fucking play to all you lot below 15% bf, I dream of that.

Does anyone on here take BCAA supplements and if so how? Only thing I 'add' to my diet is a SIS rego shake after a turbo session. I'm loosely doing 16/8 intermittent fasting, combined with a calorie deficit, I occasionally do the training in a fasted state.
So far I've lost 11kg since January with body fat going down 7% and muscle mass going up by 7% but I think the initial trend is slowing and I prob need to look more closely at upping my protein intake and possible BCAAs as well?
