In this week's episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, I had the pleasure of being joined once again by Dr. Stuart Phillips.

Dr. Phillips is a senior lecturer at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. He is widely regarded as one of the preeminent researchers in the world on protein. In this week's episode we talk about the biggest differences in protein types. This means jumping into the debate on "Animal vs. Plant" protein.

We discuss things such as bioavailability and contribution to muscle protein synthesis (MPS), and what are the best non-animal protein sources to optimize muscle and strength gain in conjunction with proper resistance training.

We also discuss the realities of what protein can and cannot do. If you've ever had any questions on protein quality and consumption, this episode is a must. I'd also highly recommend you check out Dr. Phillips previous episode on the podcast.
