its myth that vegans are low in protein. Or best sources are only eggs and meat stuff.
It's A Fact,Not A Myth
1) Vegan's protein intake is much lower the individual who consume meats and dairy. With that said, vegan's can obtain enough protein providing they are diligent in ensuring their diet is protein compliant.
Due to the lower protein levels of vegan proteins, a greater volume is needed to obtain the same amount of protein that is is eggs, meats, and dairy.
Eggs and Meats
Eggs and meats superior proteins, along with milk, to vegan proteins.
The Leucine The Anabolic Amino Acid
The amino acid Leucine is an anabolic trigger, stimulating mTOR (Mammalian Target of Rapamycin).
Between 2.5 and 4.5 gram of Leucine per serving is needed to trigger this anabolic response, Muscle Protein Synthesis.
Younger individual can stimulate mTOR with about 2.5 gram of Leucine. Older individual need over 3 gram of Leucine.
The Vegan Leucine Issue
Vegan proteins contain lower percentage of Leucine than meats, eggs and milk. That means Vegans need to consume more food to obtain the same results.
Again, it can be done providing a Vegan is plan their meals or supplements with Leucine.
As an exammple...
Wheat Protein
Added leucine makes wheat protein as anabolic as whey

Research found that spiking Wheat Protein with Leucine make it as effective as whey in triggering an anabolic response.
As I m an animal lover to choose meat-free diet.
