@tripp1523 Vegan protein will only be wonky is you’re only having one source of plant protein and it's in low amounts. It's quite easy to reach all amino acid requirements this is a nice video that explains some things.

@peter_aka_00avenger00 That has been debunked in more recent studies such as this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6893534/ "The more precise data collected so far in humans, assessing real (specific) oro-ileal nitrogen digestibility, has shown that the differences in the...

@wrtavares Hi ik it's a bit random to reply now but I just heard about some research and remembered this post ,which I think provides an explanation on why higher protein will suit you. In this video James explains at 24:00-25:15 why higher protein will needed sometimes. He references a study...

@beniaminf I don't understand why it would be, I can get all the amino acid requirements with 1.6g per kg always more than enough i.e 5.5g of leucine. EDIT: If you're talking about digestibility of protein this study explains it.

@wrtavares Were your calories the same when you had 0.8g/lb vs 1g/lb? That still isn't convincing to me, you wouldn't know 1g/lb is what made them look better unless they tried going 0.82/lb and noticed a difference. Also if it turns out that 1g/lb is what you need to look your best that might...

@wrtavares It may be the case for you that you need more protein but I still believe most people would only need 0.82g/lb, further research needs to be done with more circumstances to understand more protein is needed. Did you actually notice an increase of body fat when you were below 1g/lb...

@quietsoul You're right, in my mind when I was reading the post I forgot that seitan was grain based since the final product looks nothing like grains, that combined with me also being sleep deprived :/

@wrtavares Some nut free and soy free protein sources are: vital wheat gluten aka seitan, soy free tvp, soy free tofu, lentils, peas, some beans and nutritional yeast. Edit: Also just so you know there is no evidence that shows you would need more than 0.82g/lb of protein even when cutting to...

@joeytheflash Theres a website called wholefoods that sells tvp and vital wheat gluten. The tvp there is cheaper than on amazon. edit link
