And here's a study which found out that you have to consume 25% more soy protein to match the same results as whey protein. Clearly, bioavailability and completeness of the protein source matter (which is why the protein quality index exists and is seen as reliable by virtually every health/dietary organisation out there). If your protein largely comes from high quality proteins then protein quality seems to matter less and this is how they track it in the studies where you get the 0.7g/lb figure from. But if you're getting your protein from worse sources then you're going to have to consume more of it, which is an uphill battle considering just hitting the minimum numbers is pretty difficult with a regular Indian diet.
A meal with mixed soy/whey proteins is as efficient as a whey meal in counteracting the age-related muscle anabolic resistance only if the protein content and leucine levels are increased - PubMed
With aging, skeletal muscle becomes resistant to the anabolic effect of dietary proteins and sarcopenia develops. Animal proteins, which are rich in leucine, are recommended for the elderly, but it is not known whether their replacement by plant proteins would maintain the health and physical...
