How much glutamine and leucine features on the ultimate cutting diet?

And a related question. Does leucine have 0 calories:

"Proteins, like carbohydrates, contain 4 kilocalories per gram as opposed to lipids which contain 9 kilocalories and alcohols which contain 7 kilocalories. The liver and to a much lesser extent the kidneys, can convert amino acids used by cells in protein biosynthesis into glucose by a process known as gluconeogenesis. The amino acids leucine and lysine are exceptions (my emphasis)." Protein in nutrition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

just a quick tip, works really fast, cut all starchy carbs after 6 pm, just fiberous carbs, efa's and protein, makes a huge difference fast. Cardio and ephedrine are mandatory of course

Does anyone eat salads along with there Proteins? I've always been a big believer in lots of green leafy veggies, along with cucumbers,limited amounts of tomatoes...makes eating all that tuna or lean turkey easier..and I've always thought as most salads as "negative calories"...takes more energy to eat and digest than your putting in, plus added fiber and more fullness.

So Fish oil seems pretty huge in everyone's cutting diet....I take caps...how is the taste of the liquid?

Haven't heard about any supplements. Anyone taking CLA, ECA, lipoflame, etc to assist in there cutting?

There is no evidence to suggest any foods have net calories (except perhaps straight water), but most people consume salads with meat, simply for palatability and satiety. It's just a given I think that people consume spinach, brocolli on a cutting diet - otherwise u'd be very hungry in the evening and furthermore, you'd be relying too heavily on supplements for nutrition and fibre.

Many vegetables have a very small amount of net carbs (e.g., spinach, brocolli, mushrooms, tomatoes) and most are very nutritious.

The liquid taste of fish oil isn't too bad, and if you don't like it, just drink water afterwards. For me the taste then dissipates.

The only liquid fish oil supplement I have every used is Carlson's Finest Lemon flavor (I am up to 4-5 tbsp a day btw) and it is the only brand I will ever use. You could actually mix it into a vinaigrette and eat it on a salad, it is that good.

I take ECA and Fish Oil. Out of CLA right now, but will be ordering some soon.

Fish oil doesnt necessarily burn fat itself, but leads to increased fat loss. It's also one of the healthiest fats you can take (up there with Olive oil, CLA, Flax, etc.).

Dont forget ALA with every meal (if you can stand the heartburn).
r-ALA is better but much more expensive.
