You know what really spares glycogen?
I have no idea what you're talking about. BCAAs are for runners now?
"15g BCAA (rough estimate of active dose) prior to physical exercise in novice, but probably not elite, athletes seems to be able to promote physical endurance secondary to reducing fatigue. This occurs in prolonged physical exercise of 30-60 minutes or more.
This may be one of the few instances where BCAA supplementation has a place over protein supplements, as the inclusion of tryptophan is thought to be adverse to performance in the same people who benefit from BCAAs (and thus its exclusion in BCAA but not protein is seen as advantageous)" Taken from examine

How do some amino acids break the fast, while others doesn't? If you eatin', you aint fastin
Whey gets the job done just as well, and comes a lot cheaper
As for the fasting thing, yeh fasting is not magical, and you'd be breaking it in the sense that fish oil would break your fast. It's just a leangains protocol for the 10g bcaas pre and post workout if you train during your fast. I imagine it's bcaas over protein for lack of calories (depending on amount you take) and the concentration of it. I'm sure the difference from taking a small amount of whey protein would be pretty small, though.
