Is it possible to get enough protein for building muscle or preventing catabolism with this type of eating?
If so, how?
What protein sources?
Anyone do it....experiences?
I think the main catch besides the B vitamins is getting the right amino acid breakdown in your protein.
Cows milk has the right levels of each of the amino acids. (Almost like it’s meant for feeding animals) Where you have to overlap various beans to get even close to the right levels using “plant based I watched Netflix” diet.

Thats why you take this also
I have made some dietary changes the last 6 months where I have pretty much cut out red meat. I have incorporated more vegan type meals to my diet. I am slowly increasing it as I learn more. I still eat free range organic chicken, lean Turkey, and wild caught fish such as Halibut, Cod and salmon. I dropped milk protein, and still use egg protein. I do supplement with Whey. As far as protein supplementation, whey is king. What I've started to add more is grains. Buckwheat, beans, millet, lentils. I've also added Spirulina and blue green algae. Stuff is freaking expensive though but it's a great source of protein. quinoa, Rice and pea protein is BEST when mixed together. I doubt I'll ever quit animal protein but some of the changes I've incorporated have made a big difference in how I feel and made me overall healthier. It's still a learning process but what's made it easier for me is I have no food allergies. Most important is making sure you're not deficient in your essential amino acids. I plan on lowering my intake of animal protein even more, not completely but I'm not ready yet either. One thing I stay away from is Soy. stay away from that crap.
Isn’t milk protein and whey the same thing?
Rest looks pretty interesting. Chicken is so easy to digest I can’t imagine dropping it. Steak definitely is slower for me to digest but I like it to much to ever drop either.
there are some structural and protein characteristic differences. Caseins being the most predominant protein in milk and whey making up about the remaining 20%. Both types are used in many different applications. Anyway, my point was I stopped drinking milk. It appears Rhino is looking to eat less animal meat. I made that decision myself 6 months ago and Im sharing some of the changes I've made since then. So far, so good. No red meats, no processed meats, and as I'm learning more about other choices I'm looking to limit it even more. Like I said, I'll doubt I'll ever drop animal meat altogether, but I've been happy with how I'm feeling since I started. If indeed Rhino wants to also make some changes, hopefully my experiences has given him some ideas
Yeah, I was thinking of kind of of a half half thing because I seem to get bloated from all sorts of animal protein
