Whey vs Plant Protein: Is One Better Than The Other? | Nutritionist Explains | Myprotein

[@hasiburrahamanantu7723]

but whey is difficult to digest for lactose intolerance people.what can they do?

[@ayuktimothy7713]

My question is can can it help you gain weight

[@MadsBendorff]

I feel like it should be mentioned that consuming whey protein is linked with acne breakouts which I think is a huge downside in comparison with vegan protein powder that is not linked with acne breakouts

[@Thezazaas]

100%. I only drink pea protein isolate. No acne at all, same gains!

[@CRF250R1521]

Wow I didn't know that !

[@M4dm4ck8]

While yes, dairy is linked to acne, if you substitute your daily milk by using almond milk or alternatives, it shouldn’t affect you

[@MadsBendorff]

@@M4dm4ck8 the concentration of whey is higher in whey powder (obviously), rather than the milk? so thats not true. the whey is what causes ur acne breakouts and therefore it is the protein powder that is the primary sinner

[@M4dm4ck8]

@@MadsBendorff they are taking the 3.3 percent of protein from milk

[@GLOKD]

TLDR: plant protein isolate powder in sufficient quantity, which is also fortified with leucine/other BCAAs, can stimulated an equivalent amount of muscle growth as whey.

[@sharkhardware]

....yet costs higher than whey isolate. No, thank you

[@qwertyqwert2818]

Funnily the reason i bought soy is it's 4 times cheaper for some reason here. If i had to pick it's whey but that price is too good

[@qwertyqwert2818]

@@sharkhardware don't remember i gotta add chocolate milk or else the taste is just weird. Creatine cost less per serving but damn whey protein cost almost the same per gram as creatine. But it taste better (big guy in gym gave me a scoop)

[@sharkhardware]

@@qwertyqwert2818 Well, if you have money for soy isolate, you sure can buy yourself whey. I don't see any reason why you possibly can buy soy concentrate, which has lower digestability rate then any other protein source. Just eat enough and You won't need no protein powders.

Love the objective, fact based approach to this video. So many other channels and videos are biased one way or the other and rave on about one product while completely neglecting other options.

[@salmanhamid9911]

Just the video I needed. I've recently found out I'm intolerant of dairy, but I knew that plant based protein is harder for the body to absorb. Knowing that processed plant protein is just as easily absorbed as whey is a relief

[@MyproteinOfficial]

so glad to hear that this helped you! if you want to find out which vegan protein is best, Richie has done another video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKXHdX6PpKulbLc

[@vipulgupta]

@@MyproteinOfficial Funnily your video did not cover the effectiveness of the mix of pea and brown rice protein which you yourself mentioned as best plant-based protein but you kept comparing the inferior soy protein and then declared why protein to be better than plant protein. If someone would take plant based protein he would most likely go for pea + brown rice protein, so what's the point of the video?

Plus cows milk is for baby cows, it is specially made within every cow for their calf's same as it works with humans! Also 9 month pregnancy.

It is important to note when making your decision that if you are sensitive to glucose spikes that whey should only be used after a workout. Plant based proteins such as pea protein can be taken more as a meal replacement without the spiking of one’s glucose levels.

[@simoxeh]

Are you really that the item with more carbs and glucose has the lower insulin spike which is greatly related to glucose amounts. What's the research for this because this is the exact opposite of how the body works with glucose.

[@divine-wind]

I’m not a vegetarian but I’ve notice the plant protein is better on my gut

It's great that you've added the actual study you mentioned in the description.

[@ningis21]

In your opinion is whey protein safe to use for diabetics, keeping in mind the insulin spike? OR ...Is plant protein the way to go?

[@arne897]

*Not an expert*. In general adding fibre (eg. flax seeds) to something is an excellent way of lowering an insulin spike. I think this would have a bigger impact than the type of protein.

[@rkirwan1]

As long as the diabetic knows how to manage their condition appropriately (through exogenous insulin or food intake) (assuming type 1 diabetes). Plant protein will still spike insulin too (slightly less) but having it with some high fibre foods can blunt that too, as mentioned in the other comment.

[@Tinandel]

I used whey for a long time, but as I've gotten older I've noticed my body having a lot more problems with dairy. Been thinking about making the switch over to pea protein to see if it sits better with me.

[@cuentas217]

The image at 7:52 is incorrect. I believe it's backwards. It describes plant protein producing more greenhouse gasses

[@MyproteinOfficial]

Thank you for the spotting this.

[@markustran777]

You should mention that plant protein is better longevity and health wise

[@skinnymcdibbens9698]

Is it true that whey protein is so fast absorbing it is effectively like drinking sugar?

[@TheSimon253]

So plant protein plus some BCAA drink should stimulate muscle growth as well as Whey? Since Leucin is a BCAA?

[@JTBolson]

What about Garden of Life, Plant Based Protein, that appears to include added amino acids that you explained lack in plants. It seems this brand adds them in. Is this brand an upper tier of plant based? Thanks!

[@HenryGreenEngine3]

This is quite helpful, thank you very much

[@CoolGrey7Man]

Great comparison except you didn't talk about where whey comes from, cows of course, what are they feed etc. I don't want the chance of getting cows puss in me. I've been a vegan for at least 10 years, I use Vegan Protein without getting obsessed with it, my protein and muscle mass are in the excellent range due to my life style eating habits and exercise. I don't want to gain unnecessary muscle for looks and I understand some people want that but I feel a well toned body is better, just my opinion. Thanks for this video.

[@DunkinNugget]

Question! I saw in the store those peanut butter powder jars, I was thinking, can I mix that into my protein shakes? Like Strawberry and peanut butter, plus it adds a little more protein and it's not as calorie dense as just regular peanut butter.

So what actually happens to the protein from plant sources that your body doesn't absorb? Does it just go through undigested?

[@precursors]

I had been using (whey) protein powder to manage 2 times of my body (kg) weight in grams of protein. Some bruises started appearing on my biceps, triceps and chest. Doctor said protein powder exhausted my liver and kidneys and told me to stop using them. And the bruises disappeared. Now I am trying to eat a lot of meat to get that protein but it’s just too much meat 😩

Maybe just reduce the powder? Eating a lot of meat per day is also not good for you
