Complete protein, incomplete protein, essential amino acid...there's a lot to learn doing this Vegan thing. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of the information that's available. And the opinions are wide and varied. Many people believe that with a plant based diet you can't get enough of the things you need to survive and thrive. How much protein do we need; how can you get protein from this nutrition plan; do I really have to food combine to get all of the minerals I need....and on and on.
From everything I've read we need complete proteins and essential amino acids. First, there are 8 essential amino acids and they are:
1) Methionine
2) Lysine
3) Valine
4) Histidine
5) Isoleucine
6) Threonine
7) Tryptophan
8) Phenylalanine
9) Leucine
The amino acids are essential for every part of our bodies including mood, hormones, skin, blood, bones. Our bodies can create some of the amino acids, the the other essential aminos can only be derived from
