Need 1.2-2 g/kg protein if:

This thread:
- list reviews or opinion papers that attempt to present as anti-protein or "protein risk" but its not #DATA
- list hi-quality papers providing evidence for benefits of protein intakes >RDA at least 1.2-2 g/kg for everyone
- #PlantProteins bioavailability =2X RDA
- list reviews or opinion papers that attempt to present as anti-protein or "protein risk" but its not #DATA

This is a narrative review, so it is opinion NOT data

This one supports animal proteins ONLY cuz elderly don't tend to have an appetite to eat enough plants.
Vegans this is no barrier!

Utilizing cereal /legume composite mixes could help improve nutritional properties: amino acid comp + fatty acids, fiber + phytochemical content

In the big picture soy protein is just as effective as whey protein for MPS. Whey digestion is somewhat faster, contains a little more leucine but no strong evidence to show that this is beneficial for muscle growth/repair over weeks/months. https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00076.2009?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dpubmed
Combinations of various plant-based protein isolates can help vegans achieve their protein needs efficiently. We need higher amts of plant proteins. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6245118/
