Reply to comment by GladstoneBrookes in Protein quality of soy and the effect of processing: A quantitative review. This quantitative review confirms that the majority of soy products have high protein quality scores. by grandlewis

That's a lot of protein!

Various studies have shown high-quality protein like whey maxes out MPS at a mere 20g in healthy young men. That's equivalent to about 3 large whole chicken eggs, including the yolk as it contains half of the aminos.

Whole eggs beat egg whites: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30133322/

Soy takes nearly twice that amount in some studies. Although if you mix plant proteins to get a better complete (aminos) protein then 30g of blended (one study used wheat, corn and pea protein isolates) isolated plant proteins can match 20g of isolated whey.

Whey also promotes prolonged post-exercise phosphorylation vs soy (4 vs 2 hours): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4324640/

You're link is looking at a fairly high protein intake(like 25 percent). So MPS is going to be maxed either way. With only high-quality animal proteins we can likely get the same results with 10 percent protein, and avoid the extra oxidation and urea production from excessive protein consumption.

If you don't care about your long term health judging by the fact how you want to consume eggs, you should just start taking roids. Way less hassle, way less suffering, way more muscle, and possibly a healthier body too, unless you overdo the drugs.
