What is a complete protein? Which foods are complete proteins? What amino acids are found where?

What are the best sources of complete proteins?

In this video we explore the idea of "complete proteins", the amino acid balance of several foods and the concepts of "complementary proteins" and "protein combining".

Thank you. I'm looking at going plant based. 45 yo disabled vet with a two year old. I've struggled with mental health stuff, now I'm trying to live to see him grow.

Great video. I’m 61 and went plant based 3 years ago. I almost immediately lost 50 pounds of fat. Then I started working out, and for the first time in my life, I’m putting on muscle. I’m starting to get that V shape in my torso and definition in my pecs. You CAN grow muscle on a whole food plant based diet!

This guy is the clearest speaker on this subject ever.

I am amazed that I have not only been lied to all my life about nutrition, but I can't believe I fell for it for so long. I'm 81 now and healthy, eating a little bit of everything. I call myself a cheating Vegan because if I want a steak and eggs, I have them. I'm starting to reconsider my eating habits. Thank you

Alhamdulillah someone finally being non-biased or triggered whilst talking about plant based vs omnivore proteins . So sick of all the arguing man. Stop stressing about pushing opinions on people because at the end of the day it’s that stress that’s going to kill you quicker than either of these dietary regimes .

I'm so glad I found your channel. Great stuff explained in an easy, accessible way! Thank you

I’m currently finishing my bachelors in Food Science and Human Nutrition and this myth is still perpetuated throughout my classes. I’ve had at least three separate professors teach this as fact and it’s so frustrating.

Great content, delivery, and personality. Keep producing and they will come.

Has a college student this is a really good video. Actually gives evidence and answers all the extra questions people have, good job!

[bills]

I'm so glad I watched this. For decades I have been following the idea that you have to have complimentary proteins for plant based foods, and that eggs are superior to other protein sources.

I am watching this video five years after it was released. What you say is exactly what the research findings are of Dr. Christopher Gardner. You are a favorite YouTuber on all matters related to Health because you are unbiased not funded by organizations with agendas.

Finally, someone thats facts checks. Subscribed!

[neilstleon]

Another very straight forward and honest review. Much appreciated 👍

[bruceparker]

I was hoping you discussed the bioavailability aspect.

[RaveyDavey]

80g of protein seems very low given when plenty of protein researchers are saying, including one you interviewed? He said that the RDA should be renamed to something more like daily minimum, not the recommendation.

I love your channel, keeps the promise of "made simple".

[Erica-etye]

Wow...so much amazing info about protein sources! Thank you.

[AllMightReal]

You answered all my question on proteins. Keep it going!

[arughaogisi]

I love your presentation style - straight to the point yet interesting. Keep up the good and informative work.
