Animal vs Vegetable Proteins. Which is better...

[GearPro]

Found this really good breakdown of several different studies that looks at different animal proteins and vegetable proteins. There’s even a couple nice, easy to read charts for those that prefer not to do any heavy reading. Enjoy.

For protein I prefer meat proteins and some powders. I use vegetables for micro-nutrients and not so much protein. Although a combination of foods will always be best.

Most of the evidence I have read shows animal proteins are superior to vegetable ones. They are complete proteins and are utilized more effectively. I try to eat a lot of vegetables for health reasons.

The net protein utilization scores are interesting. I mainly eat beef, chicken and fish. For powder I go with whey isolate. Concentrates mess up my stomach too much. Someone else posted about not using vegetables for protein and I am the same. I only count protein from my main sources.
