I use both PW and Xtend throughout the day. The PW mainly just pre and during workout but I sip Xtend from morning until night. I just read an article that says BCAA's at night could increase fat storage due the insulin response they have. I'm wondering how true this is and if I should stop drinking Xtend and PW before the PM?

BCAAs cause an Insulin response (actually > than Glucose). However, it is only an initial response as compared to a continuous output until bloodsugar is normalized (or to low ) I believe they work on a different pathway than Glucose/Carbs but I may be mistaken.
I asked these questions on BB.com a while ago, I'll see if I can dig up the answers."Stimulate, don't Annihilate." - Lee Haney
