Amino Acids

The building blocks of protein. In meaningful amounts (whole protein, or BCAA and EAA supplements) they raise insulin and activate mTOR, which interrupts a fast. Small amounts of individual free amino acids (a few hundred milligrams) have a negligible metabolic effect and are considered fasting-compatible.
