Animal vs Plant Protein: Which Has More? | Best Vegan Protein Sources

PhD student talks about protein content of meat, diary, and eggs versus plant foods! (With 14 comparisons between animal and plant proteins!)

What about for muscle building. Data has shown theres not enough nitrogen in plant protein to build muscle. Whats your take on thay research? That plant is lacking leucine and the right combo of amino acids for protein synthesis. .. thoughts?

I really love most of your videos (they helped me conquer my fear of bread which I have been avoiding for years) and have been binge watching them a few times, but I think it's too bad you never mentioned anything in this video about the bioavailability of animal proteins (from meat, dairy or eggs) being higher than plant proteins + the fact that animal protein is a more complete protein source (better ratio of amino acids for the human body) whereas plant proteins are not, and they are also harder to absorb by the body because of the fibers around them. I think it's important for vegans to learn about this so they can also focus on getting a complete protein profile by combining differect vegan sources or perhaps a vegan complete protein supplement, because I've known a few vegan coworkers that looked worse and worse every year (they lost a lot of muscle, lost their color and got bad skin). Or you could just eat some eggs and low fat high protein dairy.

Please also see this interesting video from dr. Layne Norton about plant proteins and animal proteins:

Where can I find accurate protein content of each food group? Thank you

[danman]

Can you comment on Amino Acids in those protein sources?

Nice video! At first I lacked in protein as a vegan but now it works finally.:)

What about complete protein theory? I'm vegan myself, and some sources say I need to combine beans/legumes and grains to get complete protein.

This doesn’t take into account bioavailability
