Most plant sources of protein do not have a complete amino acid profile. Additionally they have a lower PDCAA score. A measure of availability. Interesting stuff I’ve been reading up on. For most people I assume a variety of plant protein sources would suffice. For bodybuilding I’m sure it would put you at a disadvantage.

 

[Bigmurph6]

When everyone talks about plant based protein? What plants have protein or do they mean beans?

 

[Trollus]

Also soy quinoa lentils but yeah beans.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Gotcha

I would say that there is something to bieng vegan but not the end all be all . There are lots of truths in there but unless you are strained chef you’ll end up eating a lot of processed foods. I tell people just add more veggies to your diet and keep in the lean meats and fish. A try local vegan diet is loaded with carbs, soy protein and a shit ton of over processed pre packaged foods

I’m here in the Midwest , you would starve if you didn’t eat beef,pork,chicken, and fish! I like my side of veggies but the key word is side!

I agree with @Trollus unless you’re consistently eating rice and beans, it’s harder (not impossible though) to get a full amino acid profile with plant based protein only. I’ve heard good things about the Vertical Diet, but haven’t tried it myself tbh. I will say that I think it’s interesting thought that a lot of the highest level strongmen have their nutrition based on the Vertical Diet, again there’s no scientific proof on that either.

Meat = good

Best protein content per volume of food ratio

 

[Dirtnasty]

Do you consider insects meat

 

[Rusty]

Dragonfly’s are my favorite. They go really well on waffels

 

[futureICUdoc]

@Dirtnasty, I’ve heard they’re a good protein source but I have a hard no on insects, which is strange because I’m always down to try any food once.

 

[Dirtnasty]

They are so much higher in protein per oz than just do maggots instead rice like the lost boys

While on vacation with my kids we found a store that sold bugs. Salt vinegar crickets and ranch flavored grubs etc. We bought it as a dare/joke. But it wasn’t bad at all. Probably a different story plain lol

 

[Rusty]

Mmmmm. A new source of protein. Lol

 

[Bigmurph6]

In all honesty I believe that some of the fillers being used in processed foods are insects all ground up just to cut the products because insects can be raised as human grade food.

I wish I new what foods actually use insects

 

[Rusty]

As long as I don’t know then it’s probably good lol.

 

[Dirtnasty]

As long as they taste good I’m in

 

[Bigmurph6]

Me to actually as long as I don’t have legs stuck in my teeth I would eat them

 

[Rusty]

Hahahaha. Gross!!!
