Anabolic Plant-Based Protein
List • 239 Words • Veganism, Food/Beverage • 06/19/2025
As discussed in my first list, Vegan, Nut-Free, High-Protein Packaged Snacks, I have been looking for foods that are high in protein to help me in building muscle (especially during a cut).
I am not really using the term “anabolic” in its most correct sense, but more so in a way that generally supports muscle growth.
10 is a commonly accepted good CTP ratio, and anything that gets closer to 4 (the number of calories in protein) is better.
