Plant vs Animal Protein

Stuart and Rhonda discuss the quality of plant-based proteins and whether they can provide sufficient amino acids for muscle protein synthesis. Stuart explains that while animal proteins are higher quality, there are now plant-based protein sources that are contrived and high quality. Processing methods and cooking can also make plant proteins more bioavailable.
