BCAA calories

Thanks for the reference to "Energy content of diets of variable amino acid composition"

I only augment my diet with 10 to 15 grams of BCAA because I consume about 120 to 150 grams of protein daily.
I don't add the BCAA to my calories count...it's too immaterial.

Just assume 4 calories per gram of BCAA's, and let it rest.
I was also brought to this by a Google search because my wife said that her BCAA's (Xtend) had 0 calories. I said that it was a mistake. I do wonder how they can get away with putting zero calories on the label. I'm assuming that it's because they're not required to count the BCAA's as a protein, a carbohydrate, or fat.

Maybe they have talking to Yorksa.
