No protein, no fitness! I believe every fitness enthusiast has heard this sentence!

Fitness people need a lot of protein, and coaches also recommend that we eat more meat, eggs, fish, and milk, these high-protein foods!

So why these? Soybeans, corn, and rice also have high protein content?

Proteins are also classified: animal protein and plant protein!

Animal protein is mainly protein provided by animals such as meat, eggs, milk, etc. Plant-based protein is protein provided by plants such as soybeans.

Eat animal protein or plant protein?

Differences in fitness value: protein content, amino acid ratio and degree of absorption by the human body.

The nutritional value of protein depends on the digestibility and the type and combination of amino acids contained in the protein. Proteins that are easily digested, absorbed and utilized by the human body have high nutritional value

Human protein is composed of 20 kinds of amino acids, 12 of which are called non-essential amino acids that the human body can synthesize through its own biochemical reactions

8 moreThese amino acids cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be provided by food, which are called essential amino acids. Animal proteins generally contain 8 essential amino acids, especially egg products and dairy products

Plant proteins contain very little essential amino acids. In particular, it lacks lysine (an essential amino acid), so its amino acid score is lower, and this type of protein is less absorbed and utilized by the body. Among the many plant-based proteins, legume protein (also known as soy protein) has the highest nutritional value.
