It was recently brought up in a thread on here that timing of protein intake doesnt matter for muscle building, but let's talk sources. Due to a mammalian meat allergy, I cant use whey or casein protein. Ive always heard that soy protein is a no go because of its estrogen mimicking/testosterone reducing properties although being on trt, none of that may matter. Plant based proteins are actually often pretty "complete" as far as amino acid profiles go but they are supposedly not as absorbable and theyre expensive.
I drink egg whites in my protein shakes but they are supposed to only be 50 percent bioavailable so I double the dose.
So my question is: With what we have learned about protein timing, the human body is incredibly efficient at using nutrients. Does the source of protein really matter or is it completely dependent on dosage. Let's leave all bro science out here and talk simply about studies.
