I'm about 28% bodyfat right now looking to drop fat using BPI best BCAAs before cardio and before/after training. Wondering if I should take BPI BCAAs during AM in morning precardio on empty stomach or not?

BCAAs are essentially protein. They still have calories. At 28% body fat, your risk of loosing muscle mass is very low. Your body will only start catabolizing muscle as an energy source when you get into the 8% or lower body fat ranges. The BPI Best BCAA also have 3.75g carbs per serving. If you add up all the active ingredients, it only totals 6.25g, but each serving size is 10g. I personally would use gear from n2bm.com instead. http://needtobuildmuscle.com/store/Proteins/GEAR-p149.html
If you are doing high intensity cardio in the morning before breakfast - supplement with BCAA
If you are doing low intensity cardio in the morning before breakfast (things like walking) - skip the BCAA supplement
I guess that the need to use or not to use BCAA's in the morning is mostly dependant on the kind of exercise you make, not the BCAA itself or the fact that I don't eat before the morning workout.
