does glutamine servings factor into your total daily protein?

[StickFigure]

Glutamine is an amino acid. Protein is made out of many amino acids, not one. That said, Glutamine HAS a caloric value. I consume about 40g of glutamine a day so it comes down to 160 calories, which is somewhat significant when doing a cutting diet (it all adds up, glutamine, sugarless gums etc..). Bottom line, count glutamine as calories, and take some more protein along with the glutamine.

Well said bro! K
