Which is Better? Plant or Animal Based Protein?

There are two kinds of protein, complete and incomplete, which come from either plant or animal sources. Protein supplements, no matter what kind they might be, are derived from either plant or animal sources as well. Which is better between animal or plant based protein depends on a number of factors. There are those who choose not to eat meat or animal products for moral, ethical and religious reasons. There are those who find themselves unable to afford many forms of animal protein a majority of the time. Then there are those that just love the taste of a good juicy steak served up with a good cold beer. For our purposes, the comparisons of proteins will be based on these factors:

- Nutritional value

- Cost versus value

- Availability

  2. From that article you linked to, "Many people assume that because plant proteins, with the exception of soy and soy products, are incomplete that animal proteins are better. However, with a varied vegetarian or vegan diet, there are more than enough sources of protein to get all of the nutrition and the right amount of protein every day."

    Soy is a complete protein so it looks like I should be just fine with using that instead of whey. :)

    Vegan Foods

    Fortunately, for individuals who follow a vegan diet, there are plant-based foods that are complete protein choices, including soy products and quinoa, a protein-rich whole grain. Soybeans form the basis of many processed soy foods, all of which are complete protein sources, such as soy milk, tempeh, tofu, miso and edamame, or fresh green soybeans. According to the The World's Healthiest Foods a 1/2-cup serving of cooked soybeans provides 14g protein and 4 oz. or 1/2 cup of fresh tofu provides 9 to 10g protein. Soy protein isolate is a highly refined form of soy protein in which most of the carbohydrate has been removed. It may be used as a protein supplement in powdered form. According to the Soy Foods Association of North America, one scoop or 1 oz. powdered soy protein isolate provides 20 to 23g protein.

    If the soy is refined and processed properly, yes it could be sufficient. Just research what you are taking. If you continue to have trouble recovering, look for more nutrient options. You should talk with Misty and see what she is doing.
