    There is a very large contingent of people who believe animal protein is superior to plant protein in every way, shape, or form. So this result isn’t obvious to them.

      Thats because it is? 100g of chicken has around 21g of protein. To get the same amount of proteins from plant, you would need to consume around 1000g of plants(give or take). This is why people should be really be eating both. You know, to be healthy and shit.

        it also depends on the exercise and your goals. they aren’t equivalent.

        I am a distance cyclist. animal protein works better for recovery for me than plant protein. I have tried both.

        I am not trying to build muscle. I am trying to recover from endurance efforts. whey protein cuts my recovery time down by almost a full day vs plant protein.

      Depends. Price points can be vastly different. Plant based stuff is often novel pricing.
