Can Plant-Based Protein Compete?
Can Plant-Based Protein Compete?
Maintaining an active lifestyle on vegan diet is easier than ever. Tailor your nutrition to meet the demands of your workout without compromising on essential nutrients.
VPX plant-based protein ensures you get enough protein before and after working out enhancing your fitness, endurance, and recovery.
Pre-Workout Nutrition: Fuel up with high-carbohydrate foods like oatmeal, cereals, whole grain bread, rice, pasta, quinoa, legumes, and colourful fresh fruit. These foods provide the energy needed for a tough training session.
Post-Workout Recovery: Replenish your body with higher carbohydrate foods and adequate protein to aid recovery. Choose proteins that provide a balanced amino acid profile to support muscle repair and growth.
Nutritional Profile: Both vegan protein powder and whey protein offer high-quality protein but differ in their amino acid profiles. Whey protein is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids in optimal proportions. Some vegan options fail in this area, however, VPX Protein Powder goes above and beyond and provides the complete amino acid profile, ensuring you get the necessary nutrients.
How Much Protein Do You Need as a Vegan?
How Much Protein Do You Need as a Vegan?
The same as if you were to use non-plant-based proteins. Protein requirements vary based on individual needs. For adults over 19, the dietary reference intake is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
Vegans should aim for a slightly higher intake due to the lower digestibility of plant-based proteins. For highly active individuals, protein needs range from 1.2 to 1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight.

Vegan Protein FAQs
Is vegan protein a worthwhile supplement?
When it comes to building o repairing muscle, protein is key. But does it matter if your protein source is plant-based or animal-based?
While animal proteins were once thought to be superior for muscle mass, recent studies reveal that plant-based proteins from sources like nuts and beans can be just as effective. Which are key ingredients in VPX.
Are there benefits to choosing plant protein?
Along with supporting muscle growth, plant based proteins can help reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, while also improving sleep, immune function, and digestive health.
Plus the added benefit of choosing a vegan protein is that it's better for the world environmentally. Win, win.
Can I gain muscle with vegan protein?
Yes. Building muscle with plant-based protein is just as effective as with animal-based sources. Make sure when you buy a vegan protein powder, it has the full amino acid spectrum for optimal muscle growth.
To build or maintain muscle, regardless of your protein choice, it's essential to focus on hypertrophic training. This means lifting weights in the optimal range for muscle growth. Aim for 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps, with 60-120 seconds of rest between each set.
What 100 grams of protein looks like for vegans.
Click here for a visual image of the 79 grams of plant-based protein mentioned below. Or mix a scoop of powder into your favourite smoothie.
What you see isn't totally what you get with the amount of protein here:
- 1 ounce of nuts (5 grams)
- ½ cup of rolled oats (5 grams)
- A protein granola bar (8 grams)
- Two slices of rye bread (10 grams)
- ¼ cup of protein granola (10 grams)
- One tablespoon of hemp seeds (4 grams)
- Two tablespoons of chia seeds (10 grams)
- Two tablespoons of peanut butter (7 grams)
- One scoop of plant-based protein powder (20 grams)
This amounts to 79 grams of protein. If we double up on the mixed nuts, chia seeds and hemp seeds, this brings us to 93 grams of protein. You could add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter or eat a full cup of oats, instead of half a cup, to come closer to 100 grams.
This plate also excludes high-protein vegan meat substitutes, such as tofu, tempeh or plant-based meats like the Impossible Burger. Those food sources can make it easier to get 100 grams of protein for someone who eats a vegan diet.
Is it good to take vegan protein powder?
While most people easily meet their protein needs through meat, poultry, fish, dairy, and eggs, vegetarians and vegans can also achieve adequate protein intake by incorporating foods like lentils, beans, nuts, and seeds. For example, just one cup of cooked lentils provides 18 grams of protein.
However, a vegan diet requires planning to ensure nutritional balance. If you're finding it challenging to meet your protein needs, a vegan protein powder can be a convenient and stress-free solution. Simply add a scoop to your smoothie or drink for an extra protein boost.
What to look for when choosing a vegan protein.
As more people embrace vegetarian, vegan, or flexitarian diets, plant-based protein has gained popularity. While it offers numerous benefits, it also presents several challenges that are important to consider.
Incomplete Amino Acid Profile
One of the main issues with plant-based proteins is their incomplete amino acid profile. Unlike animal-based proteins, most plant proteins lack one or more essential amino acids, such as lysine or methionine. To avoid muscle breakdown and ensure balanced amino acid intake, it’s crucial to combine different plant protein sources.
Lower Protein Quality
Plant-based proteins generally have lower protein quality compared to animal sources. Factors like anti-nutritional elements (e.g., phytates and protease inhibitors) can reduce protein digestibility and bioavailability, meaning you might not be absorbing as much protein as you think.
Limited Essential Nutrients
Plant proteins often lack key nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and zinc, which are more bioavailable in animal products. This can put individuals on plant-based diets at risk of nutrient deficiencies.
Allergenic Potential
Some plant-based proteins, such as soy, wheat, and nuts, are common allergens. Individuals with sensitivities or allergies may struggle to find suitable alternatives, making it challenging to maintain a balanced diet.
