Let’s get this out of the way from the get-go: The only way to increase your maintenance calories is to induce the body to burn more, so that it will require a greater caloric intake to match the extra expenditure.

 We have to know how to eat right, train right, and take the right over-the-counter supplements. “BCAAs” stands for “branched-chain amino acids”, which are three of the nine essential amino acids your body needs in order to trigger muscle protein synthesis (MPS), or the creation of new muscle: leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
