Cool, so you... Just proved what I said? Congrats.
You didn't originally mention hemp flour, but you're right, I confused protein completeness with how much is absorbed.
However, you reminded me of another issue with vegetable proteins - protein completeness. Even though raw beef would drop absorption to around 50%, you'd get everything you need.
With vegetable proteins, you need to have variety and in higher amounts to make sure you get everything.
And I've only used beef as an example for meat because you did. Fish is much higher, and also complete. A few cubes of raw salmon are easier to eat than a mixture of different vegetables in terms of quantity.
But either way, none of that negates my final point: that vegetarianism would be the best option in terms of body building, because eggs have the highest absorption and are protein complete. Literally a single egg can meet the daily requirement, with the rest being staples for calories and fruits/vegetables for vitamins. For body building, a couple eggs will give plenty of protein.
"You'll only get about 20% bioavailability from hemp seeds".
I showed you that's incorrect, by some 60% at least.
And I also didn't mention whether the beef if minced or cooked.
Mmm
Sure
Come up with that yourself, once again?
Again. I'm not a vegan, nor am I taking any sort of political stance here.
I'm just pointing out how ridiculously archaic the rhetoric is they you can't get get swole with vegan protein.
For body building hemp flour/powder is just as good if not better than chugging eggs. Depends on other factors of any given person's diet though.
I'm definitely misremembering something, so I'll have to reread the literature again. Although part of me then will instead just mauve choose to not comment on the subject and look it up much later when the transplant fails years later.
What I do remember, is there was some issue with hemp protein alone, because my labs were doing bad when I was on dialysis (and was trying a safer way to be vegan while on it - which is difficult due to potassium) and I had to switch back to eggs. It could be the amounts of certain amino acids of the 9 were too low for me. Whether this was because of dialysis or veganism I probably don't remember anymore, as it's been about 5 years since I last reviewed this information, and yours is likely much more up to date and definitely more accurate than my memory.
Either way, now I'm vegan 5/7 days a week (in the summer - getting a variety of fruits and vegetables affordably in the summer is much easier than the winter here in Finland for perhaps obvious reasons), since I really missed eating many fruits and certain vegetables (again, which was limiting because of potassium).
