Efficient how? You could make an argument that eating meat is a less efficient use of resources such as land and water, but I doubt that eating a whole meat-protein full of the correct amino acids is less efficient than eating a combination of vegetable proteins to get the same effect.

And yes, you do get vegan powerlifters, but they are very much the minority and an outlier.

It is entirely possible to have a complete diet, "correct amino acids" and all from a vegan plant-based nutritional plan.

I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm saying it's more difficult.
