Plants are a poor source. 05:20 It is more difficult to get essential amino acids in a small number of calories in plants. You need to eat a lot more calories of plants. 08:40 Plant-based proteins are more directed toward oxidation than muscle protein synthesis. 09:20 Plant-based proteins result in lower muscle protein synthesis response compared to an equivalent amount of animal protein. 11:45 You can get enough essential amino acids on a vegan diet, but at the expense of added calories and agricultural chemicals. 12:00 Soy protein tanked Mike’s digestion and testosterone levels when he was young. 13:25 There were no significant differences in strength, muscle cross-sectional area and leg mass between vegan and omnivore diets with matched amounts of protein. 15:30 Vegans will likely need to supplement with protein to support muscle protein synthesis. 16:30 Catabolism of bone, joints, and collagen is higher with a vegan diet.
