Plant Protein Benefits
Why should I choose a plant-based protein over whey or other animal-based proteins?
Plant-based proteins are a great option for those following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, or for individuals with lactose intolerance or allergies to dairy or egg proteins. Additionally, plant proteins are often easier to digest and may cause less bloating or discomfort for some people. They are also a more environmentally sustainable source of protein.
Are plant proteins as effective as whey for building muscle?
While whey protein has traditionally been considered superior for muscle growth and recovery, recent research suggests that plant-based proteins can be just as effective when consumed in adequate amounts and combined with resistance training. The key is to ensure you're getting a complete amino acid profile from your plant protein source - which is in our Tuff Supps Plant Protein.
How much plant protein should I consume?
Your protein needs vary based on activity level, muscle mass, gender, weight, and fitness goals. For a sedentary adult, the Dietary Reference Intake (RDI) recommends 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, or 10% to 35% of your total calorie intake. This is the minimum for basic nutrition, but most of us need more.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics advises that active individuals require more protein, which means as an active person and/ or someone training regularly, we would need to aim to exceed the RDI for maximum benefits of protein. While recommendations differ, recent research suggests that 30% of daily calories should come from protein. For a 2000-calorie diet, that’s 600 calories from high-protein foods. This intake not only supports muscle and fitness goals but also leads to a myriad of other health benefits, including improving
cognitive function, reducing the risk of obesity and maintaining lean muscles
mass as we age.

Can plant proteins be used for meal replacement or as a post-workout shake?
Absolutely. Plant-based protein powders can be an excellent choice for meal replacements or post-workout shakes. They can be easily mixed with water, plant-based milk, or other liquids and combined with additional ingredients like fruits, vegetables, nut butters, or healthy fats to create a nutrient-dense and satisfying meal or recovery drink.
