    Yeah, I recognize they acknowledged it, but they didn’t address it in the abstract. I’m not saying it can’t be done, I’m just wondering what their qualifiers are and what their actual approach was. Powerlifters require large amounts of protein intake that can be difficult to obtain from a 100% plant based diet. That could be addressed with plant based supplements, but that feels a little disingenuous to me.

    I suppose I could request the full study, but I can’t be bothered lol.

      Powerlifters are over represented by vegans. Ultra runners and power lifters two poles on the dietary needs scale.

      It’s a strange question, because first you’d have to quantify how many power lifters do not require supplements, from experience the answer is 0 but I could be wrong.

      But… Most protein powder is vegan usually. Non vegan protein powder is more expensive for no reason.

      If you think powerlifters don’t take protein powder… Bruh.
