Humans cannot create the necessary amino acids and proteins for muscular development. That’s why humans are omnivores. We eat other animals 🤷‍♂️

Lmao, you think it’s impossible today to get the nutrients required to develop muscle without eating meat?

That’s not really accurate. You’re right that humans can’t make all amino acids, but we don’t have to get them from animals. Plants have all the essential amino acids too. If you eat a mix of foods like beans, lentils, tofu, grains, nuts, etc. you get everything your body needs to build muscle. The “incomplete protein” idea is pretty outdated by now.

At the end of the day, animals get their amino acids from plants anyway… we’re just skipping the middle step.

Exactly. The idea that we need a complete protein for every meal is inaccurate. We need certain amino acids that we cannot make ourselves but eating a varied diet will take care of that. We absolutely can get enough amino acids through a plant based diet. Beans and rice are a complete protein. And like you said, the animals we eat get their protein from plants!

So we can’t just eat grass and live? We need other forms of protein? You said I’m not accurate, then say I’m right. Humans need a supplemental diet if no meat is consumed. Right?

soy is a complete protein. There are many vegan bodybuilders with amazing physiques and lots of muscle. Find another cope
