Protein Intake & Complimentarity

[CowPimp]

ive pondered this macronutrient distribution issue many times. being in college, putting a heavier % towards carbs is MUCH more affordable. especially with a food co-op down the road.

however, I never feel as 'hard' as when my carbs are lowered, Im guessing water retension?

also, is oats + pb a good complimentary protein source?

I think bread and PB is, but I don't know about oats.

I believe it was Lyle McDonald. The problem with t-fag is that to post in a discussion, mod. has to read your post and then clear it so you can't really "ice" any of the authors, because of course they are gods and know everything.

Have any of you guys heard of Patrick Halford? He's the founder of this place called "The Institute for Optimal Nutrition"

I've been reading a book I just bought by him (I really need to go back to the states I'm running out of places to stow all these damn books) and his views are fighting with a lot of what I've been reading previously but there are so many researches and studies by other doctors that back everything up it's hard to gauge at times... I think I'm gonna make a new thread about it.

Anyway a point that was made which some may not consider is that protein is acid forming and needs to be balanced out with alkaline foods, another reason why too much isn't such a good idea.
