Kre-Alkyn and IF Early Morning Fasted Training

[scaryeire]

Hi

I am going to be switching to early morning fasted training IF leangains protocol, i just wanted to know, the below sets out what you do, i am just wondering, can you take Kre-Alkyn aswell before and after training, or will this break the fast? (i know strictly speaking the fast is been broken with each 10g of bcaa, but do you know would this make things worse?


Early Morning Fasted Training (from Leangains)
"6 AM: 5-15 minutes pre-workout: 10 g BCAA.
6-7 AM: Training.
8 AM: 10 g BCAA.
10 AM: 10 g BCAA
12-1 PM: The "real" post-workout meal (largest meal of the day). Start of the 8 hour feeding-window.
8-9 PM: Last meal before the fast.

For the sake of conveniency, I recommend getting BCAA in the form of powder and not tabs. Simply mix 30 g of BCAA powder in a shake and drink one third of it every other hour starting 5-15 minutes pre-workout. Tabs are cheaper, but much more of a hassle (you're going to have to pop a lot of tabs). Check my supplements guide for specific brand recommendations."

Yes it contains calories; does it matter in the bigger picture, no. There's almost no point in timing your creatine intake, the whole point is it takes a while (days to weeks) for your muscles to get saturated then maybe after a work out you've used up a couple percentage of your stores and you take some more. You're going to be just as effective in the gym at 100% creatine saturation as 90% creatine saturation so it doesn't really matter.

I'm just guessing, but I reckon creatine has around 4 calories per gram and if you're taking 3-5g of it, it's nothing in the bigger picture.
