I really appreciate the lack of “one size fits all” dogma in Layne’s videos. The nutrient sources and consumption habits go all over the spectrum, proving there are many paths to improving/maintaining health, you just have to find the one you can be consistent with.
Always love how informed and information based your content is. Compared to to Tik-Tok and other youtube channels dealing with fitness, the quality of your presentation really stands out! Keep it up brother! Also thanks for breaking down how you approach squats, as a taller guy it really helped me!
Rice with pea protein is common, good combination. Just buy them plain and mix them. The earthy taste can be hidden in an oatmeal or just blend them with fruits. Easy.
@@YaYippieYeah Any idea for a good ratio to mix them? I use both pea and brown rice protein, but not together, I usually alternate them on different days. My diet does include a lot of different legumes and whole grains, so hopefully the amino acids generally balance out.
pea protein seems to be pretty cheap but it all seems to come from China and there's apparently a problem with them containing metals. Its a struggle to find something sourced locally.
@@YaYippieYeah They have become a little cheaper but I feel like they could become cheaper still (and I wish there was more variety). As for the taste, I tend to use pea protein mostly in savoury dishes as it does have a relatively strong taste that isn't as versatile.
I recently did a comparative analysis of amino acids in a commonly available (soy free) 'plant burger' vs a high quality beef burger. We were surprised at how well engineered the plant burger to be quite close/balanced on the EAAs.
@razon & espiritualidad i never suggested they were, merely that the amino acid profile was comparable. There are a multitude of factors that need to be analysed and scored when calculating the 'quality' of a protein source. Aa profile as i mentioned and bioavailability as you mentioned (plant protein CAN be absorbed well, depending on source and preparation) are both part of the formula, but certainly neither should be taken in isolation.
Even though I’m plant-based, I still listen to this guy because he actually talks about science and at least has a objective point of view overall @biolayne
I just don't understand why you only have 269k subscribers. Your info is so well researched and in my opinion your message is balanced. You have made a huge positive impact on my journey. Keep it up Layne!
His balance is precisely why. Many people want confirmation bias videos and people who do hot takes which Layne doesn’t produce. It’s a shame because he’s a great voice in the community.
I noticed if I subbed out my smoothies pea protein with brown rice protein at the end of the day my amino acid profile was pretty bang on in cronometer. It was a surprising difference.
Plant based here for just over 4 years (for health reasons, not ethical). The general consensus that I have read about multiple times is that it's not so much about getting all of the essential amino acids in the same meal, and that if you eat a variety of plant based foods throughout the day, with varying levels of amino acids, it's the same as ingesting a complete protein in one shot. For instance, if you took these 3 protein sources talked about (corn, pea, and wheat) and you ate those separately at different times of the day, they would still be built up together to form complete proteins. Do you agree with that? Any thoughts?
Yeah that's the science. Adam Ragusa has a vid on this called food pairing myth or something like that. It's mostly just as long you get variety in the day but I like keep it mixed in same meal mostly just because it normally works out that way [ex. Rice and beans or seitan and lentil pasta]
Hello Biolane!!! I LOVE how much you have come along with your material presentation. You speak super well and have a much more vibrant energy. Keep up with the great work!!!
Plants contain an anti-nutritional factor called "protease inhibitor", which interferes with digestive enzyme in human body and decrease the absorption of amino acids. However, if you cook the plants you eat, the protease inhibitors are eliminated and absorption rate of amino acids increases. It means bioavailability of plant proteins increases.
@razon & metafísica It contains all 9 essential amino acids, though perhaps not in the most ideal ratio, but technically by the very definition it *is* a complete protein. Also, how many of the studies looking at absorption use cooked versions of pea protein? When I eat pea protein, I either eat it cooked, or if I use in powder form, I blend it with apple cider vinegar (which then goes in a dip that has some fat). You can also culture it, which I have, but it is more time intensive so I don't do it much. All 3 of these methods denature the proteins and thus makes it easier to digest and absorb. And speaking personally, my body handles/tolerates pea protein in all forms way better than it does unadulterated A1 cow milk dairy. I can only do either well cultured regular cow milk (high quality yogurt), whey isolate, or the A2 only casein forms. Unlike non cultured A1 casein cow dairy, pea protein doesn't make me mucous filled AF, gassy, tired, or the like.
A whole goods plant based diet is supposed to include multiple protein sources to get all amino’s. Mix lentils, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains etc. In the end it’ll be better than animal sources.
Does the plant protein bioavailability is same with supplements? Or do supplements remove the fiber and increase the absorption of plant protein blend?
The muscle protein synthesis results speak for themselves. Layne categorized the results as being similar, which they are, but failed to point out that the graph for MPS actually showed the plant protein blend marginally ahead of the milk protein
Yep this is needed I think. So far for the plant only options I believe it is only pea protein, wheat protein and synthetic protein powders that are on par with animal protein. All other plant proteins are in question.
@@love_as_music No it doesn't, as it only measured 3 plant protein types measured (which are to my knowledge the only ones known to be comparable to animal). Regardless mixing proteins in conjunction with having more protein than necessary is an simple fix.
Hello, i have a question. If ypu need somewhere from 1.6-2.2g/kg of protein to optimal build muscle, how much protein per kg is enough to just maintaine what you already have? can i just cut dow to like 1-1.2g/kg and il be fine? hope u see this and sorry for my bad english.
As Layne suggested, would be more interesting to compare an 80/20 whey/casein blend to the plant blend. It's pretty well established that 80/20 whey/casein is better than 20/80 which is found in milk protein
"The muscle protein synthetic response to the ingestion of 30 g of this plant-derived protein blend *does not differ* from the ingestion of an equivalent amount of a high quality animal-derived protein."
Plant based athletes have been saying this for years but I’m glad that the science and someone as respected as Layne are discussing it. I tell people it is more challenging being plant based, but not inferior.
@@donewittit6607 and I say this as a vegetarian almost fully plant based athlete. It’s not hard for me but it’s harder than it wood be if I just anything, similar to dieting. Easy to stay lean but not as easy as someone that just eats whatever/wherever they want
@@donewittit6607 Yep this. Bulking is pretty easy but contest prep is really tough. The only way you can hit your protein goal without going over cals and carbs is with a ton of protein powder. But yeah definitely not inferior, I use vega sport protein and the amino acid profile is basically identical to whey.
@@donewittit6607 Its always going to be more challenging with more restrictions on your diet. If by "plant-based" you mean plant-only then yes by default that will be more challenging.
You totally should do some sort of collaboration with dr. Mike Isratel form Renaissance Periodization. You both have very similar approach to fitness and science
Wondering if there's any data on whey proteins made using precision fermentation like perfect day for those that are planted based but want the benefits of whey.
Great vid again but tiny pet peeve, the Dutch name "van Loon" is more accurately pronounced like "van Lone". Other than that just consider this a helpful algorithmic comment.
My brother has PKU would this be an adequate alternative for protein for him. I'm not really to knowledgeable about his disease I literally was talking to him about dieting alternatives for him yesterday and telling him about Carbon diet coach. I just didn't know how he would hit his protein macros.
When wheat (the grain, not protein isolate) is referred to as having a pdcaas of .4-.5, what happens to the other .5-.6 fraction of the energy? Broken down for glucose? Excreted undigested?
I just want to make sure I am not wasting my time with a pea and rice protein mix.Whey messes up my stomach randomly. THAT IS the only reason I do this. I use this in between traditional protein meals. So I use every kind of protein throughout the day.
I use pea protein only (just low on methionine,actually i think it’s a good thing for aging reason…) and it works great for me. Nobody care but the algorithm… Take care.
The real problem with blended plant proteins is how much more farming needs to be done to keep up with that demand. This means eradicting all life except for the farmed food from that acreage, spraying pesticides, fungicides, and insecticides across a wider range of land area, and also more carbon emissions produced by farming equipment. Something to consider if doing plant-based for ethical reasons. Nothing is perfect or free of consequence.
How many dairy cows can be supported by that same land, and how much Whey will that yield? Of course a snout to tail cow is everything a human needs, and provides meat, casting, Collagen, organ meats etc as well.
Good review! I have many questions on protein some of which may be outside your area of research. Research shows animal amino acids are absorbed quicker or more efficiently and they aide in muscle growth modestly over plant proteins. It is true plant proteins are absorbed less efficiently and are not complete so a well rounded plant based diet is required to obtain the same level of protein from an animal source. Some data suggests an alkaline diet and high potassium diet of plant proteins allows for longer retention/use of plant proteins. I would like someone to study if a good human gut microbiome can aide in production of essential amino acids like cow guts. I am trying to build muscle eating a whole food plant based diet with limited animal products. I do this for benefits in longevity and disease prevention. I am most strict at avoiding processed foods both plant and animal. I am following the research by Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Dr. Oliver Maddocks of Faeth Therapeutics and the work of Dr. Colin T Campbell which all show increased cancer risk with certain proteins and amino acids and I can't help but hypothesis that the quick uptake or pro-growth affects of animal proteins may aide in muscle growth and cancer growth. There is no good data to suggest animal products lower cancer risk when compared to whole food plants. There are many medium and some high quality data to suggest cancer risk with increasing amounts of animal products in the diet. If you have information please share. If not I think this is an area of research that needs to be explored. The question I have is how much meat can I eat to be healthy, but not overdo it and obtain the health detriments in other areas proven from over consumption of animal products.
Man I’m trying to do a body recomp at 350 lbs, down from 364 in a month. I want to preserve muscle so I’ve been all about animal protein. But my doctor says my cholesterol needs to come down so I’m looking at plant based complete proteins to get me there.
I have been whole food plant based for 5 years now and I have noticed my recovery is faster, I continue to progress in my training at a faster rate and as a bonus I am much healthier over all than I was on a paleo lifestyle. I see no reason for me to eat animal products at all, they are simply not needed.
Layne what's your take, or anyone's opinion. It's been said that a diet of low protein, (.25 grams per pound body weight intake) of animal protein is superior to the same amount of amino imbalanced plant protein, yet at a certain amount of protein intake, there is no difference if a specific amount of necessary balance of aminos are consumed. What might be that threshold? If one has about 160 grams a day perhaps only 30 grams of properly balanced aminos are necessary. If so what's the equation?
What do you mean "It's been said"? I've never heard of studies like that, do you have any sources or links? That sounds very weird. All sources I've seen suggest that overall daily protein intake is by far the most important factor for muscle building.
If you eat a well rounded (30-40 variable whole food plants) whole food plant based diet with no processed foods and no animal products you can build muscle. I am doing it!.
I wonder if there are other side effects from these blends. At any rate I'm not a body builder and do don't need a shake. I'm happy to just get protein in a natural way, like a steak.
I did keto years ago! It had me afraid of carbs! Now I have 20% clogged arteries! I’m eating now plant based ! Plus bought organic plant based protein powder!
@@biolayne1 Understood. I guess what I'm trying to ascertain is do you know of an absorption rate difference between the two protein powder sources? Whey seems to be fortified and Plant (pea) protein appears to be naturally occurring? Does either translate into a higher absorption or more beneficial outcome for improving iron status? Thanks Layne
Regarding Carbon, would you ever consider a feature that allows you to see if your protein consumption has the right balance of amino acids, or is it presumed that in the course of consuming 35+g per meal, you've more than likely reached the threshold to stimulate MPS?
You need to get plenty of Luecine for MPS. Animal sources are good for L, plant sources are poor. You need 3 to 5 times the 'protein' in plant-based for the same stimulus. I say 'protein' because poor sources are low in Luecine, and high in Glycine which is a filler amino that is not as useful as the others (we typically get more than we need, and we don't need as much). Beef is best 🥩🥩🥩🥩

so, biased view then not fact based
I wish there were more of theses blends on the market so that they drop in price. Because plant protein should in theory be a lot cheaper
Here in Germany, plant protein blends are cheaper than whey protein

Plant based burgers only made in Canada and shipped to China and back to the USA after it is made
animal-free based whey’s are also very interesting, check out perfect day

@razonymetafisica the study showed comparable protein synthesis. Protein synthesis happens inside of the cell which happens after absorption.
