RESTORATION METHODS: NUTRITION

[Guest guest]

, I weigh 94 kilos, so my intake is only slightly above what you

suggest to be ideal. I'll let Tom respond to the BCAA question, but

my understanding is that you are adding the essential aminos which

tend to be in shortest supply during training to prevent or reduce a

limiting amino acid scenario, which would potentially reduce the

effectiveness of the protein that you are ingesting.

Also, my understanding is that my total protein intake may be

adjusted downward soon as well- I don't think Tom views a client's

caloric or protein intake to be a permanent situation, but something

that is adjusted from time to time as body weight and composition

change.
