There are so many options for protein.
Rice protein isolate. Whey protein isolate. Soy protein isolate. Beans. Lean meats. Fish and other sea foods, Tofu (fermented) and more.
If you don't like something don't force yourself to use it.
I am still reading through this china study. But he hasn't backed up his claim about protein quality. Where he states that although plants have a relatively bad amino profile they can magically create all the amino acids your body needs. Which kind of conflicts with them being essential amino acids.
"We now know that through enormously complex metabolic systems,
the human body can derive all the essential amino acids from the
natural variety of plant proteins that we encounter every day. It doesn't
require eating higher quantities of plant protein or meticulously planning
every meal. Unfortunately, the enduring concept of protein quality
has greatly obscured this information."
Basically I am very curious to how this conclusion was reached and the empirical evidence proving it.
If someone has read it and knows where it is in the book. A point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
