They like BCAAs because they think it causes gains.

I like BCAAs because they taste good.

We are not the same.

Is BCAA different from normal protein powder?
Also, why does it taste better for you?

Basically just seconding what Delphia said; if you’re getting adequate protein from food sources than BCAAs are a waste.

I just tend to drink >2L of plain water a day as a baseline, so when it comes to the gym — I’d rather have something with flavour. It’s best to just think of it as gymbro-cordial, with added caffeine on occasion!
