1) What are your thoughts about the research/findings?
I think people should combine both plant-based and animal proteins to avoid missing out on the valuables provided by both food sources.
2) Why do human cells not absorb as much protein from plant-based meat?
Researchers conclude that the human body digests animal proteins more easily than plant-based proteins. As a result, they get absorbed more, and as much as the body requires.
3) What are good sources of protein (potentially both plant-based and meat options)?
Animal sources;
- Chicken
- Eggs
- Fatty fish like salmon
Plant-based sources;
- Lentils
- Peanuts
- Chickpeas
4) Is there anything else you’d like to add? Thank you!
Yes. Animal proteins contain larger essential amino acid amounts, therefore, I recommend eating them in moderation to get what the body needs.
