{"title":"EAA for Cyclists","description":"\u003cp\u003eStart with the situation rather than the ingredient — people logging long hours in the saddle, often in weather nobody else chose. Long sessions on the bike mean steady fluid and sodium losses that creep up on you across a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is written to be read once and acted on: what EAA does, how to read a label, and the two or three habits that decide whether any of it matters.

They are the fraction of protein muscle can use directly, so they matter most when total protein is short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is why EAA works as part of a set rather than as a single hero ingredient.
