@ramy6et 0.73g/lb is to maximize muscle growth as an omnivore. Can still grow muscle less than that at a slower rate. Not a large gap between 0.6-0.73 though. However, vegan protein is wonky in its AA content, and ~10-15% less bioavailable. 1g/lb is probably enough to maximize muscle growth as...

@ola08 Not in the same ratios as animal products, which is really important for bodybuilding though. A quick look at online hemp protein seems to be just as deficient for maximizing muscle growth

@deacongirl I'll have to crunch the numbers to see how much is actually in a serving, I'm away from my computer rn. I don't know how I am "looking for problems". I'm just trying to learn lol.

@deacongirl I'll look into that more but my concern is price.

@armywife13 crunch the numbers that i just crunched, its clearly a massive concern for weightlifters specifically. Do you deny that there is a huge gap in threonine for example between the groups?

@janet1971 I mean, my concerns were that when you crunch individual amino acid numbers, there's still very large deficiencies, even after mixing vegan protein sources. sometimes half as much for some AAs compared to whey. However, as other commenters pointed out, these limiting AAs may be more...

@johnhenrygroenewald Thank you for this. This might be my saving grace. If I consume three of these packets per day, and get all of my other protein from plant sources, I should be able to maximize muscle growth I think. This source is waaaay cheaper thank you. I don't know how I missed this one...

@cassian Ugh its 24$ for 1.2lb. my protein sources that I gave are like 50$ for 5-6 pounds. Like less than half the price. I don't know if I can afford the vegan whey.

@aram But why wouldn't one AA fuck it all up? I hope you're right, and maybe you are, I'm just trying to understand. I know that leucine is the most important, there's like a 50% gap in leucine still but that's manageable. It's the 100% gap shit that freaks me out.

@mhil43 You're totally correct on that lol.

@mhil43 I know, you are absolutely correct, I will go vegan regardless. Just annoying how people keep downplaying this concern for bodybuilders.

I'm fully aware that protein/AA concerns are dumb if you aren't a bodybuilder like me. But if you are, they are a *huge* concern. I keep seeing people say that by combining different proteins, you hit essential AA distributions similar to whey, but this is bullshit. Remember, I am talking only...
