00:00:00
vegan protein is worse for you than
00:00:02
animal protein this is a Hot Topic and a
00:00:05
debate that I see online everywhere but
00:00:07
which one is actually better for you
00:00:10
when it comes to building muscle I am
00:00:11
here at Gold's Gym in Venice Beach this
00:00:13
is the mecca of bodybuilding and if
00:00:15
anybody knows the answer to this
00:00:17
question they're probably going to be in
00:00:18
there which one's better for building
00:00:19
muscle but whey protein the Whey Protein
00:00:22
animal protein or plant protein
00:00:23
definitely animal protein animal protein
00:00:25
animal protein I guess like Meat and
00:00:27
Fish okay neither both are effective I'd
00:00:30
say animal protein for sure uh plant
00:00:32
protein animal protein without question
00:00:34
I would say so it's pretty obvious that
00:00:35
most people in the gym believe that
00:00:37
animal protein is better than vegan
00:00:39
protein when it comes to building muscle
00:00:40
what does the research say what do
00:00:42
scientists say to better understand this
00:00:44
I invited my friend Simon Hill who is
00:00:46
the host of the proof podcast also a
00:00:48
nutritionist getting his master's degree
00:00:50
where I'm going to ask him some of the
00:00:52
most common questions about protein all
00:00:53
right Simon so there is a lot of
00:00:55
confusion about which source of protein
00:00:58
animal protein or vegan protein is
00:01:00
actually Superior what do you think I
00:01:02
think it comes down to how you Define
00:01:04
superior
00:01:05
let's go train and I can tell you how I
00:01:08
think about this okay let's go all right
00:01:10
Simon so let's start from the top down
00:01:13
you're going to be doing a spot no I'm
00:01:15
good
00:01:16
what are the main differences between
00:01:19
animal protein and vegan protein
00:01:21
the two big differences that people kind
00:01:24
of focus on our amino acid distribution
00:01:27
and the bioavailability
00:01:30
so animal proteins tend to be a little
00:01:33
richer in branched chain amino acids
00:01:35
which are particularly important for
00:01:36
building muscle and there's some small
00:01:39
differences in bioavailability which
00:01:41
really just means digestibility how much
00:01:44
of that protein can your body actually
00:01:46
utilize yeah yeah this is actually a
00:01:48
really big
00:01:49
saying in the bodybuilding world is that
00:01:51
you're not what you eat you're what you
00:01:53
absorb right so the assumption is that
00:01:55
plant protein is absorbed less yes so
00:01:59
and that's probably true to an extent
00:02:02
but the difference in digestibility
00:02:04
between plant and animal protein
00:02:06
historically has been hugely
00:02:08
overestimated there's a couple reasons
00:02:11
one is studies in Years Gone by have fed
00:02:16
plant protein to animals
00:02:19
that hasn't been properly prepared so
00:02:21
the plant proteins the legumes haven't
00:02:23
been soaked or cooked they're just fed
00:02:25
raw and we know that when you prepare
00:02:27
these plant foods like beans and other
00:02:30
other types of legumes properly that you
00:02:32
can cook them the protein becomes more
00:02:34
available after you cook or soak them
00:02:36
correct yeah so that's one and then the
00:02:39
second the other reason is that
00:02:43
in most of the studies looking at animal
00:02:45
protein so say chicken or beef or eggs
00:02:50
they're feeding that isolated food to
00:02:53
the animal and looking at the
00:02:56
digestibility okay whereas
00:02:58
most people are consuming mixed meals so
00:03:01
if they're having eggs beef or chicken
00:03:03
they're having that in a meal with
00:03:05
broccoli or sweet potato that contain
00:03:07
certain compounds like fiber that would
00:03:09
reduce the actual net bioavailability of
00:03:12
the protein in that animal food I see I
00:03:14
see yeah and same goes with vegans right
00:03:16
because most of these studies are done
00:03:17
using isolates like soy protein or pea
00:03:21
protein isolate as the alternative vegan
00:03:23
protein right and no vegan that I know
00:03:26
of is sitting here exclusively only
00:03:29
eating soy protein as its only food
00:03:32
source we now know from more recent
00:03:34
studies that the differences in that
00:03:37
bioavailability are probably only a few
00:03:40
percent
00:03:41
you know up to a maximum of about 10
00:03:43
percent 10. oh he's on the he's on the
00:03:46
kilos 10 kilos
00:03:49
I'm learning quick math how many kilos
00:03:51
is this uh 150.
00:03:54
is it really right no
00:03:57
20 20 40. they're a little bit out but
00:04:00
say 20 40 it's 50. it's 120 120. okay
00:04:04
that's close try to add 30 kilos
00:04:11
all right Simon so you mentioned that
00:04:14
certain plant proteins have a dish a
00:04:16
different amino acid distribution does
00:04:19
that mean that plant protein is lacking
00:04:21
or missing essential amino acids for
00:04:24
building muscle I love this question the
00:04:26
most important thing for people to
00:04:28
understand here firstly is that all
00:04:30
plants contain all non-essential amino
00:04:33
acids which might be used to some people
00:04:35
essential amino acids are the amino
00:04:39
acids that are building blocks for
00:04:41
protein that our body cannot make that
00:04:43
we have to get through our diet so all
00:04:45
plants contain all nine of those
00:04:48
people may have heard of incomplete
00:04:51
protein versus complete protein and I
00:04:53
think that's where the confusion comes
00:04:54
from totally so to fully appreciate this
00:04:56
we need to understand what what are the
00:04:59
definitions for a complete protein
00:05:00
versus an incomplete protein
00:05:02
it's true that certain plant Foods many
00:05:06
of them are what we would call
00:05:07
incomplete proteins that doesn't mean
00:05:10
that any of those nine essential amino
00:05:12
acids are completely missing it just
00:05:14
means that if you were to eat that
00:05:16
single food for all of your calories and
00:05:19
all of your protein you would fall short
00:05:21
on a particular amino acid but of course
00:05:23
nobody does that nobody in a developed
00:05:25
country is doing that but where it is
00:05:27
relevant is in a developing country
00:05:29
where perhaps there's food insecurity
00:05:32
and maybe someone only has access to one
00:05:35
type of grain or plant for all of their
00:05:38
calories okay that makes sense okay
00:05:39
somebody who's been vegan for almost a
00:05:41
decade and vegetarian before that my
00:05:44
whole life I have never once combined or
00:05:47
intentionally combined foods to complete
00:05:50
or pair amino acids even when I was
00:05:53
bodybuilding I never once tracked a
00:05:54
single amino acid and never had any
00:05:56
issue putting on muscle
00:05:58
eat a diversity of different plant-based
00:06:01
protein sources that's pretty much all I
00:06:02
did and just focus on enough total
00:06:04
protein and if there's just a modest
00:06:06
amount of diversity which most people
00:06:08
will have just naturally through
00:06:10
creating meals mixed meals then the
00:06:13
amino acids take care of themselves
00:06:15
there you go so one of the biggest
00:06:17
comments that I get online is that I
00:06:19
would actually be much bigger and
00:06:22
stronger if I ate meat alright Simon so
00:06:24
sometimes when we talk about amino acid
00:06:26
profile
00:06:27
absorbability people get really confused
00:06:30
so if we were to just worry about the
00:06:31
brass tacks like what does somebody like
00:06:34
me who is vegan and wants to build
00:06:35
muscle need to worry about right let's
00:06:38
simplify this so what actually matters
00:06:40
we have now multiple clinical trials
00:06:43
that have compared completely vegan
00:06:46
diets to omnivorous diets and looked at
00:06:49
the outcomes that someone like you or I
00:06:51
or people training here today would
00:06:53
actually care about building muscle and
00:06:55
protein and what we see in these studies
00:06:58
is if you're consuming an optimal amount
00:07:00
of protein so 1.6 grams per kilogram up
00:07:03
to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight
00:07:06
we see no significant differences in the
00:07:10
rate of muscle protein synthesis in the
00:07:13
building of strength or hypertrophy the
00:07:16
building of muscle so number one is
00:07:18
making sure you're consuming enough
00:07:20
total protein and then following that
00:07:23
how you distribute that protein also
00:07:26
matters so there is some research at
00:07:29
this stage it's mostly animal studies
00:07:31
that suggest it's better to evenly
00:07:35
distribute your protein out across a day
00:07:37
so if your target is say 160 grams of
00:07:40
protein rather than having that all in
00:07:42
one meal a more effective strategy for
00:07:44
building strength and muscle would be to
00:07:46
divide that into three or four meals
00:07:48
spread throughout the day with sort of
00:07:50
two or three hours at least between
00:07:52
those meals pretty much what I do just
00:07:54
naturally eating is I eat every three
00:07:58
hours or so and my target is about 150
00:08:00
to 160 grams of protein and even as a
00:08:03
vegan it's really easy to hit those
00:08:05
targets without trying sometimes I go
00:08:08
over without even really putting much
00:08:10
thought into it so as long as I'm eating
00:08:12
my high protein plant foods like lentils
00:08:14
tofu tempeh I have a protein shake
00:08:16
legumes beans things like that it's
00:08:18
pretty easy to hit those targets that's
00:08:20
the key takeaway here is if you're
00:08:22
achieving that optimal total protein
00:08:25
intake these differences in amino acid
00:08:27
distribution or in bioavailability do
00:08:31
not seem to matter for the things that
00:08:33
we actually care about
00:08:34
which is getting these gains baby the
00:08:38
continuation of this if you want to go
00:08:39
there yeah I would also argue that when
00:08:41
it comes to our health it's not all
00:08:43
about getting jacked this Board of
00:08:46
Health than that and one of the
00:08:49
advantages of eating more plant-based
00:08:52
sources of protein is that the research
00:08:54
is really clear this is a great way to
00:08:57
shift really important biomarkers of
00:08:59
disease like your cholesterol into a
00:09:01
favorable Direction
00:09:03
and the long-term studies show that when
00:09:05
you're swapping calories from animal
00:09:07
foods for plant foods rich in plant
00:09:10
protein you're lowering your risk of
00:09:11
cardiovascular disease having a heart
00:09:14
attack or a stroke and even premature
00:09:15
deaths
00:09:17
all right Simon so we talked all about
00:09:19
protein today in this workout we talked
00:09:21
about digestibility absorbability amino
00:09:23
acid profile and total amount needed to
00:09:26
maximize building muscle so in your
00:09:28
expert opinion which one is better
00:09:31
animal protein or plant protein that all
00:09:33
comes down to how we Define better
00:09:35
for me personally I think we have to
00:09:37
broaden or open the lens the aperture
00:09:40
and consider more than just the results
00:09:43
in the gym we've already discussed you
00:09:45
can get the same results as long as
00:09:47
you're consuming an optimal amount of
00:09:48
protein but plant protein we know is
00:09:51
superior to animal protein from from the
00:09:54
perspective of your long-term Health
00:09:55
your risk of chronic disease and how
00:09:57
long you live it's also better for the
00:09:58
environment and it's the more
00:10:00
compassionate Choice even leading
00:10:02
scientists that I've interviewed on my
00:10:03
show are now changing their view on this
00:10:06
topic of animal versus plant protein
00:10:08
based on these recent studies and look
00:10:10
as somebody who used to consume dairy
00:10:12
products and swapped for a completely
00:10:14
plant-based diet I saw no decline in my
00:10:17
strength or my performance if anything I
00:10:19
saw major benefits I was recovering
00:10:21
faster I felt less inflamed my mental
00:10:24
Clarity went through the roof and I was
00:10:26
able to come in here and train more
00:10:27
frequently and put on more muscle in a
00:10:29
shorter amount of time alright thank you
00:10:31
Simon so much for coming on and
00:10:32
educating me and everybody else about
00:10:34
some of the benefits of or some of the
00:10:37
differences between animal and
00:10:38
plant-based protein and if you lay it
00:10:40
all out and you are somebody who wants
00:10:42
to build muscle you also care about your
00:10:44
longevity you care about the health of
00:10:45
the planet and you want to reduce your
00:10:47
risk of Contracting diseases later or
00:10:50
cardiovascular diseases later on in life
00:10:52
then maybe swapping to a plant-based
00:10:55
protein Source or even consuming more of
00:10:57
it might be a better option so for those
00:11:01
of you watching let me know down in the
00:11:02
comments what you're going to do if this
00:11:04
video was helpful at all or if you want
00:11:06
further clarification on the differences
00:11:08
between animal protein and plant-based
00:11:10
protein leave a comment down below and
00:11:11
as always thank you so much for watching
00:11:13
