BCAAs too.

Too much protein causes stomach issues. Too little doesn't allow muscle to repair.
It is also open to much speculation exactly how much protein intake the body can process, and if all types are equally as effective or not. I tend to think natural "paleo" forms are probably better because we have had more time to adapt to using them. It is kind of a deep subject but Carbohydrates as the bulk of energy input is a fairly "new" thing as far as the history of human beings goes :-).
