What is /fit/'s verdict on Pea protein?
>>35061321
I got some pea protein for you.
>>35061321
Overpriced for the most part.
You're better off with whey.
Of if you're a vegan, rice and soy protons are going to be your best bet.
>>35061321
just buy regular peas at your local grocery store instead you fucking dipshit
>>35061471
Soy protein is literally worse than hitler
>>35061523
Soy contains the best amino acid profile when it comes to vegetable protein.
Also, plant estrogen is just that, plant estrogen.
It won't fuck with your test levels or give you tits.
>>35061536
gonna need some sources on those claims, mate
>>35061536
Actually, the jury is NOT out on the hormonal effects of soy. Personally I think dairy is verifiably worse though (including whey) since milk taken from a perpetually pregnant mammal's tits has been shown to be loaded with hormones. A Harvard study even flat out declared this, a simple google search will show. The problem is how ingrained the dairu industry is in our culture. Got milk?
Anecdotally, I've lost weight, had a more stable mood, and been acne free since cutting out dairy.

same as my verdict on tree-bark and mustard protein.
it's all protein you fucking nerd.
>>35061471
pea is cheaper than whey what are you talking about??
>>35061554
>2015
>still thinking your body absorbs plant estrogen
>>35061719
but how to get 180+ grams of protons a day without dairy senpai?
>>35064367
step 1: realize that getting 180+ grams of protein in a day is retarded
>>35065126
But the sticky
Less bioavailable and less complete than whey, though often cheaper. I won't comment on taste since that's subjective.
>>35061471
what about hemp?

>In addition to an appropriate training, the supplementation with pea protein promoted a greater increase of muscle thickness as compared to Placebo and especially for people starting or returning to a muscular strengthening. Since no difference was obtained between the two protein groups, vegetable pea proteins could be used as an alternative to Whey-based dietary products.
What are you trying to say? Do you really think a trial on untrained individuals eating other sources of protein alongside supplementation is going to display a difference in amino acid profile?

Do you eat protein powder as a main food in your diet or do you take it supplementally?
>>35065499
It's my only protein source. C'mon.
>>35065499
Main food. Probably close to 50% of my daily protein intake.
>>35065499
Not my point, pea protein being 'as effective' as whey when used to supplement an otherwise balanced diet does not mean it has a more complete amino acid profile than whey.
Given whey's generally better received taste (important for compliance; protein powder that just sits on your shelf doesn't do you jack shit for gains no matter how good it is) and more widespread availability I will continue to recommend it for general protein supplementation.

>pea protein being 'as effective' as whey when used to supplement an otherwise balanced diet does not mean it has a more complete amino acid profile than whey.
But if it doesn't matter, what's the problem?
>>35065576
There isn't really (assuming the trainee has an overall complete amino profile) but it doesn't make pea protein more (or as) complete than whey.
Even the product page for pea protein says whey is better!
Plus it gives you cancer and has 14% of daily sodium per scoop.
The study made me consider, but I'll stick with nice natural, wholesome whey.
