Meaty Food versus Vegetable Protein: Which is Better for Bulking Up?

Article Category: Food and Drinks

Author Name: Roger Mazerolle

We all need protein, that's a given. Some people require more and others need less, which is normal. The daily requirement for protein is measured as dietary protein; this means that the source of the nutrient, whether animal or vegetable, is not important. However, if you're looking to build muscle, meaty food versus vegetable protein becomes an important question. This is because protein from animals and protein from veggies are actually very different things.

Now, let's take a look at what both meat based protein and vegetable-based protein bring to the table and figure out finally who wins in meaty food versus vegetable protein.

Tale of the Tape: Meat Corner

Meat based protein comes from, you guessed it, meat. Any sort of animal meat counts, that includes seafood as well. Aside from that, however, animal based food like dairy products and eggs count when talking about meat based protein.

When it comes to nutrients, meat based protein contains all the essential amino acids, these are the amino acids your body cannot generate on its own, that the body requires to synthesize its own proteins. Aside from that, meat based proteins contain only a few carbohydrates, if any. This makes eating meat based protein very efficient from a nutritional standpoint. Aside from all that protein, animal based food also contain a lot of zinc and are rich in heme iron. Heme iron is more easily absorbed by the body compared to iron taken from plant based food.

Tale of the Tape: Vegetable Corner

Unlike animal based food, most vegetables have an incomplete set of essential amino acids. This means that you will need to eat many different kinds of vegetables to complete your nutrition. However, certain sources like quinoa and soy provide complete protein; this means that, like meat based protein, they too contain the complete set of essential amino acids.

Protein content aside, plant based food like whole grains, beans, seeds, nuts, soy, etc. have a lower amount of saturated fat and dietary cholesterol. This means that maintaining a diet that mainly contains vegetable based protein tends to give people lower amounts of cholesterol, lower body mass indexes, and lower blood pressure. This essentially means that vegetable based protein diets lessen the chance of coronary disease compared to the animal based protein diet.

Verdict: A Draw?

In the age-old debate of meaty food versus vegetable protein, there is still no clear winner as both animal based protein and vegetable based protein have their own pros and cons that put both on even footing.

However, one can optimize their diet by taking into account their goals in muscle building, allergies to certain foods, risk for coronary disease, and other nutrient deficiencies. If one has a low risk for coronary diseases and do not have any underlying nutritional problem, then one could opt for consuming more animal-based protein. On the other hand, if one struggles with micronutrient deficiency or is at risk of a coronary, then one could opt for consuming more vegetable based proteins.

Is the question of meaty food versus vegetable protein a useless and superfluous question, then? Not necessarily; as long as you know what your goals are, then this question can act like a great guide in the quest for superior nutrition.
