Summary
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) can be useful for weight loss during strength training due to their low caloric value, but if you're fasting for longevity benefits, it's best to avoid them as they can counteract autophagy. BCAAs are also potent stimulators of mTOR, which can be counterproductive to achieving early autophagy.
