Captions & summary
There is a common misconception that vegetarian diets, specifically plant foods, do not contain all the essential amino acids. However, this is a misconception.
In fact, all plant foods, such as grains, legumes, beans, chickpeas, nuts, and seeds, contain all nine essential amino acids. The only difference compared to animal foods is that animal foods contain these amino acids in sufficient amounts, which is why they are considered complete proteins.
In contrast, plant foods may not contain certain amino acids in sufficient amounts, which are called limiting amino acids. For example, grains are low in lysine, legumes are low in methionine and cysteine, and nuts and seeds are low in lysine and threonine.
Now, you can fix this by consuming a variety of plant sources in your diet however, the main issue with plant foods is their lower bioavailability, which means that the body may only absorb and utilize 50-60% of the protein from a given source. For example, if 100 grams of lentils contain 20 grams of protein, the body may only absorb and utilize 10-12 grams.
So, what should you do? First, focus on meeting your daily protein requirements. Start by consuming as much protein as possible from dairy foods, then from soy foods (chunks & tofu), and finally from other plant sources.
