Plant Protein vs. Animal Protein for Muscle Growth and Performance
Charlie Ottinger, Author at Ketogenic.com
What Drives Muscle Protein Synthesis?
Leucine appears to be the most important EAA for stimulating muscle protein synthesis
Protein Quality, Kinetics, and Anabolic Potential
... Beef has been shown to be more effective than soy protein at increasing protein synthesis levels.
Plant Protein vs Animal Protein: EAAs, Protein Kinetics, Digestibility, and
Quality
...Animal-based proteins consisteantly have higher EAA contents and higher leucine contents.
Animal proteins consistently score higher than plant proteins.
Milk proteins have been shown to be more effective for lean mass gains compared to soy proteins
...Plant protein can be beneficial for growth, there’s just one caveat: you have to eat more!
Plant Protein vs Animal Protein: Conclusions
...Animal proteins are more effective for promoting protein synthesis than plant proteins. But! All you have to do to even the playing field is eat greater amounts of plant protein.
...It’s very easy to under-consume protein during a plant-based diet which can reduce overall lean mass, strength, and quality of life
...A plant-based diet is not optimal for muscle growth.
Growth can absolutely be achieved on a plant-based diet, however, specific steps must be taken to maximize growth
