What's the Best Protein for Building Muscle? A Simple Science-Based Answer


Listen Later

Are all types of protein equally good for building muscle?
It depends on whom you ask.
Many vegans and vegetarians will tell you that plant proteins are just as good as animal sources, if not better.
And most hard-shell bodybuilders will laugh that at the idea that you can get big on a plant-based diet.
“How many jacked vegans do you know?” they’ll ask. “Exactly. You gotta eat meat to gain mass, bro.”
Well, who’s right?

Are plant proteins inherently deficient in some way and unsuitable to muscle building?
And, bottom line, what types of protein should we be eating to gain muscle as efficiently as possible?
Let’s find out.
