I will probably just but some bulk BCAA. I'm kind of on a kcal restriction and I need some help to keep muscles working. I used to respond really well to glutamine and a BCAA powder. Not taken at the same time, but just in between my 3 hour meals. I have yet to decide if I want the creatine as a food supplement, or with my post work out.... or during work out.... My metabolism is getting so crazy now, I need some food all the time. If I try to get it from regular whole food I will gain a billion pounds. Gatoraide or home made gatoraide like drinks work, but I need some amino's with it. Protein powder it not an option either.
