gm, animal protein is just 0.01% better at building muscle mass than plant protein, according to a meta-analysis from 2021

for most people the source of protein doesn't matter for building and maintaining muscle mass

Hmm , very curious about experimentation process, seems like a study of bunch of other studies 

Curious, as just by nature of protein quality in plants vs dairy/animal/eggs , usually veg has monumentally less amino acids & not complete proteins

Has this paper addressed why exactly?

first of all, familiarize yourself with the term "meta-analysis"

secondly, check your facts about amino acids and "incomplete proteins"

thirdly, stop holding opinions based on made up data and go search for data, it's a couple of google queries away

Not meant as a personal attack, just asking a question 🤙

Fwiw, similar sentiments have been echoed from many researchers, like dr.huberman (cliche, I know) , so curious if there was a point I’d not considered https://i.imgur.com/4BcbV2G.jpg

well, my answer wasn't a personal attack either, but a genuine piece of advice

if you follow my advice above, your decision-making will improve drastically because you will start considering real up-to-date research and data — not the outdated opinions other people base on whatever

Ahh, appreciate it, am genuinely curious.

No paper I've found has addressed the protein quality question , w/rt to equalizing calories between the sources. 

Can you share your up to date info around protein quality? 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7926405/

you're commenting on the thread to the meta-analysis that does exactly that

It doesn't address the protein quality issue - the core question I want to figure out is what info is there that I'm missing that shows 100g of plant sources vs. 100g of chicken/eggs will be greater for anabolism

i really don't care for the source as I am for info around that question. the meta doesn't tell me **why**

first of all, it does, read the study

secondly, what evidence is there that 100g of animal protein is better than 100g of plant protein for "anabolism"?

humans tend to question opposing views but not question their own beliefs

search the data, read the data, consider the data

> Basically does the protein source contain all essential amino acids

easy to check: compositions are all on the internet (yes, plant has all the essential amino acids)

> Compared gram per gram, animal proteins typically contain more protein than plant proteins

you gotta rephrase this, 1g of protein is 1g of protein

but hey, after all, don't listen to me — *go do your own research*

go check the amino acids

try to prove *and* disprove your beliefs and opposing views as well

don't put your beliefs in front of the data, base your beliefs on data (and not on opinions)

Basically does the protein source contain all essential amino acids. (leucine, etc.)

Compared gram per gram, animal proteins typically contain more protein than plant proteins. Per 100-gram serving, chicken contains 220% more protein than tofu, 256% more protein than black beans, and 52% more protein than almonds.
