Protein is very important to bodybuilders. It can not only help muscle recovery, but also synthesize muscle. Therefore, friends who are exercising and want to gain muscle will often eat food with high content in protein. Among various foods, meat and tofu should have the highest protein content, especially tofu. But many bodybuilders choose meat to increase protein instead of tofu. Why? Tofu VS meat, which is more beneficial to bodybuilders? Let's study together.

Today, Bian Xiao gives you a reasonable explanation on this issue.

The first reason is that it is not economical to supplement protein with tofu. Seeing that many people here are puzzled, tofu is obviously much cheaper than meat. Why is it not very affordable? This is because100g of tofu only contains about 8g of protein. If you need to add 80 grams of protein, you have to take 2 kilograms of tofu. 1 kg tofu market average price 3.5 yuan, two kilograms of tofu will be 7 yuan.

If protein is supplemented with chicken, protein needs 320g of chicken to supplement 80g, and the cost should be around six to seven yuan.

Therefore, it is better to supplement protein with tofu than meat.

The second reason is that the protein content of tofu is unstable and difficult to choose.

The processing technology of tofu is different, and the raw materials used are also different, which easily affects the protein contained in tofu. The protein content of tofu sold in the market is between 5%- 10%. Protein content is different, so it is necessary to choose tofu with higher content in protein, which really brings great problems to bodybuilders who choose phobia, while meat will not be like this.

The third reason is that animal protein, not plant protein, has better muscle building effect. Moreover, animal protein is better absorbed, but the absorption effect of vegetable protein by intestine is much worse. Many plant proteins are not well absorbed and can only be wasted.

In addition to these reasons, there is a big reason that meat contains creatine, which can promote the improvement of strength and endurance. To sum up, meat is more suitable for bodybuilders to supplement protein, so many bodybuilders give up tofu and choose meat.
