Plant-Based Protein vs Animal-Based Protein
1:16:48 - 1:19:14 (02:25)
The bioavailability and completeness of a protein are generally higher in animal sources than in plant-based foods, though plant-based sources often have lower calorie intakes. This makes it difficult for athletes to fulfill their protein requirements without exceeding their calorie limits.
Clips
Animal-based protein generally contains more bioavailable, complete proteins at a lower calorie intake compared to plant-based protein.
1:16:48 - 1:18:45 (01:56)
Summary
Animal-based protein generally contains more bioavailable, complete proteins at a lower calorie intake compared to plant-based protein. It is difficult for plant-based protein to match the same amount of relative amino acids, so it is not recommended for athletes to switch to a plant-based diet for performance reasons.

The idea that a plant-based diet is inherently better for athletes has no scientific backing.

Summary
The idea that a plant-based diet is inherently better for athletes has no scientific backing. While it may be a personal preference or ethical choice, there is no evidence to support that it enhances athletic performance.
