When following a plant-based diet, you may need to eat more total protein to get enough of the critical amino acid leucine for muscle building.

The ideal daily protein target for both muscle building and longevity is likely 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of lean body weight.

Studies in mice found they lived longer and stayed healthier when they minimized protein intake, an effect linked to reducing activation of the mTOR pathway.

There is a lack of scientific evidence linking higher dietary protein intakes to adverse kidney or bone health outcomes in healthy individuals.

The total amount of protein you eat each day matters far more for muscle building than the specific timing of when you eat it.

A new study found that consuming 100 grams of protein in one meal led to a more prolonged muscle-building response than a 25-gram serving.

Solid evidence shows that soy protein does not negatively affect testosterone or estrogen levels in men, contrary to common social media claims.
