Can plant protein build muscle as well as animal protein?

Plant protein can support muscle much like animal protein, with a 2021 review finding little difference in strength or lean body size. BBC Science Focus reports on that review and expert views on protein. The review compared animal and plant protein sources. It looked at muscle strength and Muscle Mass (Lean Mass), the body's tissue apart from fat. The excerpt does not give the people's ages or study sizes. For members following One Meal a Day (OMAD), the key point is that meat is not required. Beans, nuts, soy foods, and whole grains can supply protein. But a Plant-Based Diet needs all the essential amino acids. These are protein building blocks the body cannot make itself. The article also cites World Health Organization guidance for healthy adults: 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram each day. Its example is 64 grams daily for someone weighing 80 kilograms, or 176 pounds. That is general guidance, not a finding about the best amount for muscle growth. Food source and meal timing are separate questions. For the most muscle growth, the article reports a recommendation of at least four meals with protein. That differs from eating everything in one meal. Still, the excerpt gives no direct test of this community's eating routine. For community comparisons, Protein Intake, food sources, and strength records offer useful context. Tracking these together can help members describe their own changes without assuming one food caused them. What have your protein logs and strength records shown when using more plant foods in your single meal?
