Ok, I know I have read countless posts about how bad it is to do cardio on an empty stomach, but I have read a few posts on loading with BCAA's and fooling your body into burning fat. How many grams of BCAA's does it take and how much can this help? Is this still a sure path to lot of muscle loss?

Well, I'm sorry I just found another post that said only do this when your desperate for that last minute fat loss.

Not always the case...I do cardio on an empty stomach and do not experience muscle loss...it keeps me leaner to do my cardio this way.
