I have a few questions about supplements and nutrition, but I will cover it up here.

I want to recomp (lose fat and gain muscle)

1- BCAA

When to take it when I can only hit the gym at morning once a week.

2- Protein supplement

What is a good supplement for protein.
I was using nitro-tech, but I think is shit.

Was considering liver tabs.

3- Pork/Pig

Is pig meat healthy?

That would be all. :)

To answer:

1. BCAAs are only really useful when you're lifting/doing cardio starved. Take 1-2 servings (sip on water mixed with the BCAA powder) before/during your workout to preserve lean muscle tissue. Other than when starved, BCAAs aren't really useful anywhere else.

2. I've tried a bunch of different protein powders, by far my favorite is Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey (MAKE SURE TO GET CHOCOLATE). I get this from Costco, you can get 90 servings for about $60, sometimes even cheaper (I've gotten for $45 w/ rebate). It tastes almost like nesquick, and has a consistent flavor you can use regularly without being overly sugary/artificial tasting.

I think liver tabs are generally useful for your health, but unless you're cycling on methylated compounds/steroids, you can go without them if you're living on a budget.

3. No/kind of depends. You'd want to go for the leanest cuts possible, but in general, red meats like pork aren't so great. Beef has a lot more protein on the other hand and absorbs far better, arguably the best meat for bulking and protein absorption. Chicken or turkey is the best for getting a lean meat with very little fat and a high mass-to-protein ratio. I prefer chicken and turkey over all other meats for my taste/health preference.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if pork makes a good bodybuilding food, but considering that fat aids the endocrine system in producing testosterone and other hormones, I would definitely say it's good for men, dunno about women.
