A new study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise researched muscle protein synthesis in response to diet and training. It examined whether sources of protein (plant vs. animal), distribution of protein intake throughout the day, and overall protein sufficiency impacted muscle gains. Surprisingly, the results indicated no significant differences across these variables, challenging the conventional belief that animal-based proteins are superior for muscle building. The findings suggest that a balanced vegan diet over time can be just as effective for muscle development as animal-based diets.
The longstanding belief or the current dogma was that animal-based protein sources were better, particularly for the muscle-building response, but our findings challenge this notion.
Measurements taken after a single meal might not reflect the effects of consuming a balanced vegan diet over time, thus suggesting equal effectiveness over extended periods.
