The 13 Best Lean Protein Foods to Eat, According to an RD

What foods count as lean protein sources—and what does that even mean? An RD breaks it down.Tetiana Istomina/Getty ImagesKey TakeawaysLean protein is generally healthier than fatty protein because it is lower in saturated fat and cholesterol.It also supports healthy muscle development and tissue repair.There are a variety of both plant and animal-based lean protein sources, including fish, egg whites, tofu, and legumes, among others.Everyday pro…

'Bro-Science' Overturned: Plant-Based Diets Build Muscle Just as Well as Animal Proteins

Forget what you've heard at the gym about needing chicken breasts and steaks to build muscle. Science just delivered a win for plant-based eaters everywhere. The post ‘Bro-Science’ Overturned: Plant-Based Diets Build Muscle Just as Well as Animal Proteins appeared first on Study Finds.

Muscle building unaffected by vegan or animal-based protein sources

A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: First, does the source of protein - plant or animal-based - make any difference to muscle gain? Second, does it matter if total daily protein intake is evenly distributed throughout the day? And third, does a moderate but sufficient daily protein intake influence any of these variables? The answer to all three questions is…

Omnivorous? Vegan? Makes no difference to muscle building after weight training, study finds

A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: First, does the source of protein—plant or animal-based—make any difference to muscle gain? Second, does it matter if total daily protein intake is evenly distributed throughout the day? And third, does a moderate but sufficient daily protein intake influence any of these variables? The answer to all three questions is "no…

Plant or Meat? Either Fuels Muscle Growth Equally

A new study finds that when it comes to building muscle, the source of dietary protein—whether animal- or plant-based—makes no difference, as long as intake is sufficient. Researchers also discovered that evenly distributing protein across meals doesn't enhance muscle protein synthesis compared to skewed intake later in the day.
