TECHNICAL FAQ
Yes, absolutely. Research shows that plant protein can support muscle growth as effectively as animal protein when total protein intake and leucine needs are met. Eat 1.6-2.2g protein per kg bodyweight, spread across 4+ meals, and prioritize soy, lentils, and legumes.
Seitan (75g/100g), tempeh (19g/100g), lentils (18g/cup cooked), tofu (20g/cup), edamame (17g/cup), black beans (15g/cup), and chickpeas (15g/cup). Nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, and peanut butter are excellent supplementary sources.
No. The "complete protein at every meal" myth has been debunked. Your body pools amino acids throughout the day. Just make sure you eat a variety of protein sources daily — legumes, grains, nuts, and soy. You don't need to combine them in the same sitting.
