The best explanation I've seen was from a PhD in molecular chemistry from the University of Florida. She said that even if you take the same numbers of proteins, lipids, and glucose (carbs, both simple and complex) that you still couldn't replicate one diet or another because of the way the components act on each other at the molecular level. Bottom line is that meat proteins act like meat proteins, and plant proteins act like plant proteins, even if they are both made up of amino acids, and never the twain shall meet. Made since to me when I read it.
It makes no sense to me......maybe you have a citation explaining it?

Proteins don't have some sort of magical meat essence or plant essence as far as I know.....
