@garybrecka: We spend so much time debating the “best” protein source that we forget what our body is actually trying to get from it: amino acids. Whether you're eating eggs, steak, fish, whey, or plant protein, digestion breaks dietary protein down into amino acids and peptides that your body can use to build and repair tissues and make enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and countless other proteins. Nine amino acids are considered essential because your body can't make enough of them on its own, so they have to come from your diet. Instead of getting lost in the protein debate, start with the fundamentals: are you getting enough high-quality protein and all of the essential amino acids your body needs?
