TECHNICAL FAQ

Dairy is convenient but not essential. Chicken breast (31g/serving), eggs (6g each), canned tuna (20g/can), lentils (18g/cup), tofu (20g/cup), and plant-based protein powder (20-30g/scoop) all provide excellent protein without dairy. Most people can easily hit 120g+ daily without any dairy at all.
Pea protein is the closest to whey in terms of amino acid profile and muscle-building research. Other good options: brown rice protein, hemp protein, and soy protein. Many athletes prefer a pea/rice blend for the best taste and complete amino acids.
