Typically, the discussion of what makes a protein exceptional centers on how quickly it digests, how quickly it absorbs, how many amino acids it contains, or whether it is "clean." Nonetheless, any of these assertions can be a diversion from the important issues.
According to recent studies, the quality of the protein is less crucial than previously thought if you consume an adequate amount of it.
Many individuals think that a fast-absorbing protein with a high digestibility is necessary if you want to gain muscle. Yet, there hasn't been much study looking at a more useful query: can you worry less about the quality of your protein if you consume more of it?
The latest study, which analyzed earlier studies on proteins, discovered that the demand for quality depends on how much protein you ingest. In other words, it's advisable to concentrate on more premium protein if you want to eat less protein. But if you choose a diet heavy in protein, it's alright if you don't always choose foods with the highest levels of absorption.
This is so because amino acids, which make up protein and are the basis of both your cells and muscle, are present. Also, since your body cannot produce critical amino acids, you must consume them. Less necessary amino acids are present in low-quality proteins, or they may be absent entirely in some cases. Thus some proteins are actually "better" than others.
However, if you consume more protein (at least 1.6g/kg per day, per the research), even if it's not the best choice, your body will fill in the amino acid gaps (providing you're consuming a variety of protein sources) and you'll get the nutrients you need to build muscle, aid in recovery, and support your general health.
Of course, choosing protein involves other factors as well. Calories still count, thus choosing a "lower quality" protein source may result in consuming more calories than necessary, which may have an effect on your outcomes. Yet, if you consume enough, the protein itself won't prevent you from achieving your goals.
Here is a straightforward example to demonstrate how it works if you want some suggestions or to count your macros. Say you weigh 175 pounds. With only 80 grams of protein per day if you're eating only high-quality foods (such as whey, beef, eggs, soy, or milk, which all have good digestibility), you may see effects. But, you can consume certain lower-quality sources of protein, such as peanuts, wheat, or beans, if you consume about 175 grams of protein per day.
