    value of protein in bread/oats etc

    For these types of products, is the protein actually of good enough quality to be included in protein count?

    i.e. I know it should obviously be counted calorifically, but if I'm trying to say, get 43g of good quality, highly available and useful protein in a meal, should I be including that from bread and oats and pasta etc ?

    they are incomplete protein sources- some count them, so do not. they should not be relyed on as the sol protein source in your meal, no.

    thanks atherjen, I figured this was the case, and no I never rely on them solely (ouch that would be a lot of carbs )

    cheese, milk and dairy products are complete though aren't they?

    You could do something like count half of all incomplete protein sources.

    It's way too much of a pain in the ass counting incomplete proteins. I don't do it, I mean, you have to complete them somehow with complementary proteins, so it's a lot of guesswork.

    Well, put it this way, I generally aim to have 35 - 55 g of complete protein in every meal. So I ignore incomplete proteins when it comes to that, but I will include the calories from those incomplete proteins. This seems to me the most sensible way to go about it,
