    Animal-free whey protein is on the market now!

    @raef Thank you. People aren't looking at the big picture, imo. Proteins made by fermentation have the potential to destroy the meat and dairy industry. It's that simple. I understand people are afraid of new tech, but this is truly an important development. We are never going to get 100% of...

    Why Ketogenic/low-carb diets make no sense for athletic performance

    @konsacz Yeah, I wonder that too. Some people need empathy, imo. But maybe that's asking a lot.

    Why Ketogenic/low-carb diets make no sense for athletic performance

    Why Ketogenic/low-carb diets make no sense for athletic performance

    @sunrise628 Low carb is not the same thing as keto. Low carb is 100 to 150 net carbs per day. Low carb does not lead to ketosis. One can eat higher carb for athletic performance and then lower carb for the rest of the day. For many people one type of diet does not fit all situations for the...

    Working on Silk Protein Nut Milk replacement

    @prettythings I just got it the other day. It's has a nice flavor (like cashews, basically) and mixes pretty well with the milk. It's a little expensive though for the amount of protein in it, so I'm trying to figure out way to use it in small quantities. Maybe for sauces. Not sure yet.

PB2 makes a cashew powder (60 cal/ 4 P per 2 T) that is tasty and might thicken your drink? It's a shame Silk took the protein milk off the market. Right now I use vegan...

    Meeting the leucine threshold

    @dawn16 There are vegan and non-vegan BCAAs. Just as you would get BCAAs in a vegan diet you can get them in a vegan supplement. Most vegan protein powders already have BCAAs in them, but OP was asking specifically about Leucine. Vegan BCAA example...

    A protein intake of 0.8g per kg (0.36g per pound) of body weight is NOT an optimal intake for muscle growth

    @monte The American College of Sports Medicine recommends .5 to .8 grams of protein per lb of body weight for athletes. https://www.acsm.org/docs/default-source/files-for-resource-library/protein-intake-for-optimal-muscle-maintenance.pdf
