Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates did not differ between omnivorous and vegan dietary patterns.
Both omnivorous and vegan diets can support similar rates of muscle protein synthesis during resistance training.

Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates did not differ between the OMN-UB (3.04% ± 1.85%·d -1 ), OMN-B (2.43% ± 1.21%·d -1 ), VGN-UB (2.52% ± 1.77%·d -1 ), and VGN-B (2.49% ± 1.56%·d -1 ) groups (all P > 0.05).
Why this rating
Based on a randomized controlled trial design.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
