Eric,

[quote]All essential amino acids and BCAAs and will be in a complete source of protein, like Whey, Egg, animal, soy, and other "complete" proteins. [/quote]Good to know. So, I will keep looking for any general breakdown of say whey protein isolate and its natural BCAA components for tracking purposes.

My son has some good amino acid supplement that I will use in liquid form in my daily water for consumption throughout the day.

This combination will ensure optimal protein synthesis and uptake.

Now, I need to go back and adjust the quantities in the primary protein shake to account for at least 1g/lb. Lastly, I'll need to recalc the amount of maltodextrin and other (complex,simple) carb to get the total caloric daily target.

Sound like a plan? I need to get this done; otherwise, I continue to wilt away and the docs are going to PEG me if I don't keep the weight on. LOL
