Reply to comment by dalens in I analyzed 11000 products of a Dutch supermarket to find the cheapest sources of protein [OC] by MemeableData
I was specifically speaking in the context of muscle protein synthesis, not the bare minimum required to be healthy. The daily required amount is not enough to become “swole”, this can be seen in the daily value recommendation of 50g, anyone who lifts can tell you that is not enough. I am not claiming it to be impossible to be swole and vegan but you need to combine protein sources to get all amino acids required for muscle protein synthesis. There is a reason many popular vegan protein powders are a combination of sources (pea and rice normally). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6723444/
