protein info #2
 

Protein*synthesis is stimulated from adequate leucine content of food. The amino acid leucine is one of the important building blocks for muscle. Consuming 5 -10 grams of leucine per meal will maximize*protein*synthesis.
It can be extremely hard for vegetarians to consume this much leucine because direct sources of*proteinsuch as chicken, fish, meats contain more leucine then plant sources of*protein. If you cannot get 5-6oz of animal*protein*per meal then I recommend supplementing that with a BCAA product with your meal to ensure proper leucine amounts.

when taking your BCAA'a I would recommend that you take it separate from your protein shakes, your body has a hard time absorbing both at the same time, so its best to give it 30-40mins or so in between
