Summary
Learn about different sources of protein and which are the healthiest and highest quality.
Discover whether you absorb protein differently depending on where it comes from. Does your body digest protein from plants differently than from meat? And which form of protein is best for building muscle?
Dr. Matthew Nagra puts protein under the microscope when he joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
Other Topics
- Am I eating enough protein?
- Do I need other nutrients to better absorb plant protein?
- Do any nutrients block protein absorption?
- What do I need to eat to get complete proteins?
- And more!

| 0:00.0 | Plant proteins contain varying amounts of the amino acids. |
| 0:07.8 | These are the building blocks of proteins. |
| 0:09.8 | And what those studies do is they pick out the least prevalent amino acid and they score |
| 0:16.0 | the protein based on that. |
| 0:18.3 | Now we have some human data looking at the digestibility of a variety of protein sources |
| 0:23.2 | and looking at the total protein digestibility rather than pointing in on those individual |
| 0:28.7 | amino acids. |
| 0:29.7 | And you see that the difference between the plant protein sources and the animal protein |
| 0:33.9 | sources is maybe a few percent. |
| 0:36.7 | And that's it. |

| 1:22.7 | This is a protein master class here on the exam room today. |
| 1:28.9 | And our professor is Dr. Matthew Nagra from the Vancouver area of Canada. |
| 1:34.8 | Now something that you should know about Dr. Nagra is that he is someone who has forgotten |
| 1:40.7 | more about the ins and outs of protein than most of us will ever even know. |
