Optimizing Protein Intake for Vegetarians and Vegans

This routine focuses on optimizing protein intake from plant-based sources to support muscle protein synthesis and growth for vegetarians and vegans.

# Key Points from Rhonda & Luc van Loon's Discussion

• The difference between casein & whey protein for stimulating muscle protein synthesis
• Downsides of plant-based protein sources compared to animal protein
• Why animal protein is more effective for hypertrophy — and what to do if you're eating a plant-based diet
• Using a combination of plant-based proteins (e.g., pea and rice) to provide a more complete amino acid profile, similar to animal-based proteins
• Comparing protein supplements: whey protein isolate vs. concentrate
