This is a very small study with n = 24 with significant conflicts of interest.
> Funding. The project was financially supported by a grant from the National Cattleman’s Beef Association.
It’s a start and shows there’s more m work that needs to be done in this area. According to the study they don’t know why this difference exists and they seem to have disproved its due to Leucine which was a popular hypothesis. If the difference is real, identifying the cause will be most important as it will allow for the formulation of better sources of protein than what we have right now.
- xx__yy 2y ago> allow for the formulation of better sources of protein I don't think the "National Cattleman’s Beef Association" wants that, just to know that beef>Soy is enough.

- cameldrv 2y agoI think this is about what you’d expect though. They say 2 1/4 lb soy patties build as much muscle as 1 1/4 lb hamburger patty. The soy patty I looked up had 28g of protein, and the hamburger had 40g. If that’s correct, the study is saying that the soy protein is about 71% as effective as the meat protein, which is about what I’ve read based on the limiting amino acids in soybeans.
