Amino acids come: from protein. Sportsmen drink protein shakes which have 30g protein per serving. But protein supplements are very expensive. You can get the SAME amino acids from normal food sources in dairy, eggs, fish, meat or tofu form. It tends to be MUCH cheaper than protein shakes, ounce for ounce! You should eat approximately 3000 calories per day, 25% coming from protein.
