Best vegan protein for muscle gains

• Need 8g leucine per day spread over meals and snacks (2.5g per serve) - amino acid - building block plus anabolic trigger
• Most leucine rich vegan protein powder = corn protein. 
• Leucine rich foods include meat, chicken, fish, nuts & seeds, eggs
• For those who prefer vegan protein, a corn protein isolate has a decent BCAA  profile and is an excellent source is leucine. Soy is also another option that is high in leucine.
