Muscle protein synthesis more successful with beef than plant-based protein in older people, study finds

Protein consumption is vital to our muscles, as it stimulates the process of producing new muscle proteins, also called muscle protein synthesis. A new study suggests that this process is stimulated to a higher extent following the consumption of a meal in which protein comes from meat, specifically beef, than a meal containing only plant-based protein sources, even when the protein levels are the same.

I knew there was a reason I liked it so much.
