Plant-based diets can meet protein needs and support muscle protein synthesis and gains comparable to animal-based diets, provided total daily protein intake is sufficiently high and protein sources are diversified.

“animal Source protein is better it is also easier for most people to obtain protein from an animal-based food source for a few reason for one animal protein sources have a greater protein density plant-based foods contain less protein per gram than most animal based foods for example getting 20 gram of protein from potatoes means you need to consume more than a kilog of potatoes but just 70 gram of meat like chicken or beef contain 20 gram of protein second plant-based foods have a lower digestability than animal-based Foods largely due to the presence of a food Matrix consisting of fiber fiber can slightly reduce the body's ability to extract and utilize protein found in plants it also slows the digestion process sprouting and fermenting can overcome some of this and improve the digestibility and absorption of plant protein third plant proteins are often deficient in one or more of the essential amino acids for example lysine methionine and most importantly Lucine remember that essential amino acids are needed to be consumed in the diet to build complete proteins in the body a lower essential amino acid content means that most plant proteins are incomplete proteins and stimulate a lower anabolic response compared to animal-based protein
