During hard training

[augustyngusty5]

What about taking EAA or electrolytes during training, what is better and some arguments, please.
I mention that 3 times a week I'm training 2 times a day. 1,5-2 hours for hypertrophy in the morning and 1 hour for endurance, sprinting, a lot of moving, in the second part of the day.

If you aren't eating anything and working out in the heat then it'd be warranted otherwise there is no major benefit

No, I'm eating 4-5 meals a day and sleep 7-8 hours a night, but I want to know which is better during training and why.

If you're eating enough, hydrating well and working out in a hospitable environment it's hard to say either would be better in terms of noticeable benefits but I guess EAAs would be the better choice as to avoid excessive mineral consumption

I would agree with the above. You most likely have more than enough reserves of energy and circulating amino acids just from whenever your previous meal was. Especially with how frequently you are eating.

Remember that you don't grow any muscle during the workout - it's in the 12-48 hours afterwards that most of that happens and that is when you need to be supplied with sufficient energy and aminos.

This is key and that's why it's so important to stay consistent with diet and hitting your macro numbers since it's the muscle tissue rebuilding process when the muscle comes back stronger and bigger!

BCAA/EAA only taste great mixed with water in hot summer days, don't think you will get any positive results except for flavors.
