well, to be truthful , no. meat in anyform is bad for you. anything you get from meat you can get from plants, because that meat animal ate nothing but plants. but thats another story. yes, nuts, beans, and meatless meat products, egg whites. thats where i get my protein from. and im 215, pretty cut. but thats also another story. however, i know its not realistic to totally do away with meat for vocal reasons. but just to answer your question. proteins are made of amino acids. you can get all but about four of them from your food. protein is just a bunch of amino acids chained together. so there is no benefit between the two. but when eating meat, you cant digest it well , especially with a starch, like most people eat with meat. so that means that you get less absorption actually. so if anything, eating a meat based protein is less of an advantage then beans, nuts, soy products, etc. i dont know everything, but i know a ton about 1. Fitness 2. spirituality 3. a good bit about voice. ask me about guitars, cars,woodwork...just about anything else and i'll take the backseat.
