    Beans and Nuts

    I eat a lot of beans, nuts and other non complete proteins. What can I eat with these to make them complete?

    You're saying that I should combine these with my chicken, steak or other complete protein? This will convert the non-complete protein?

    No, you just didn't specify why you weren't eating complete lean proteins in the first place...if you're a vegetarian then the link madden player posted seems like a good place to start.

    But otherwise...why aren't you eating a complete protein at every meal?

    Beans are primarily as source of slow digesting carbs, and nuts are looked at as a great source of "good fats." Nuts also have the benefit of including carbs and protein, so they complement an already solid meal well, as well as making a great snack.

    While legumes do pack some protein, if you're not a vegetarian or something like that, you should not be looking at them as a main source of protein

    Trying to mix and match amino acid profiles when you could just be eating a complete protein seems like a big old waste of time...but again, I'm not aware of your lifestyle or eating habits

    The why's I didn't feel were pertinent to the question. I do in fact eat complete proteins as well.

    That link really didn't make it very clear. It says the vegetarian diet will provide you with complete proteins.

    So back to the original question?

    I've learned a hell of a lot from Jodi and the others on here. I'm very grateful for their help.
