Animal Protein VS Vegan Protein for Muscles

[Firefighter911]

I have questions and i can't find anything solid!

I want to know why, gym amateurs with standard american diet ( meat, dairy etc ), are still able to have big and inflated muscles. I don't understand the bio of it. And my other question is: why body builders, on ''standard'' diet, can have big and inflated muscles but still have no overall body fat. And my third question, if anyone can put me on track, is what's the main effects of Animal VS Vegan proteins on muscles.

Thank you very much!!!

Pat,

 

When you consume food that has protein, it breaks down into amino acids, and your body uses them to repair your cells, including muscle cells. Your body doesn't give two shits whether those amino acids came from soy or meat.

 

Exercise for what you want, and protein/carbs/fats/water to fuel your efforts. That's it.

 

Now, the nutrients that accompany those protein/carbs/fat/water are also very important to how the body functions and looks, but that doesn't mean that a meat-eater can't build big, inflated muscles just because s/he eats meat. In fact, they're (omnivorous bodybuilders) realizing the importance of carbohydrates and starting to veer from low-carb diets. In fact, Jay Cutler attributed his reclaiming of his title to adding carbs back into his formerly low-carb pre-contest diet to increase the "fullness" of his muscles, as well as stamina.

 

For the body fat issue, in the short term, a low-carb diet has been shown to really get you L-E-A-N. However, from the Profiles link on the veganbodybuilding.com main page, you can see that you can get the paper-thin skin look without having to go all meaty.

 

I hope that answers your questions. I'm not sure what part of the "bio of it" that you're not sure of.
