incomplete proteins? do you mean amino acids?

I'm not a faggot so I've never thought about it desu

>"In combating the myth that meat is the only way to get high-quality protein, I reinforced another myth. I gave the impression that in order to get enough protein without meat, considerable care was needed in choosing foods. Actually, it is much easier than I thought.
>"With three important exceptions, there is little danger of protein deficiency in a plant food diet. The exceptions are diets very heavily dependent on [1] fruit or on [2] some tubers, such as sweet potatoes or cassava, or on [3] junk food (refined flours, sugars, and fat). Fortunately, relatively few people in the world try to survive on diets in which these foods are virtually the sole source of calories. In all other diets, if people are getting enough calories, they are virtually certain of getting enough protein."
Said the person responsible for popularizing the idea of protein combining.
TL;dr it's just bullshit and anyone who spends any amount of time thinking of taking about protein combining is uninformed.

90% of the shit posted on /fit/ is bioscience which serves only as evasion tactics to anons can avoid facing the fact that they're shitty people. They obsess over nonsense like nofap and meaningless diet bullshit to convince themselves theyre "making it" instead of addressing their actual problems.

NB: I'm not saying diet is irrelevant just the "one weird trick"-tier bullshit I see faggots spouting.

If you're not lifting.

>Tfw eat a shit ton of sweet potatoes
What do I need to pair this shit with, I've slowly been eliminating meat from my diet.

>>36953566
That's to survive and prevent frank deficiency. Obviously at that point it really doesn't matter.

To optimize the metabolic roles of amino acids, e.g. for muscle growth and cognitive functioning, it becomes important.

>>36953566
Why are you so retarded.

Obviously you can survive without crunching numbers on the amino acid profiles of your foods, but it's definitely not the best way--especially amongst a bunch of body conscious /fit/izens.

Protein quality matters as much as quantity. No, you won't get as ripped as possible eating only gelatin.

>>36955915
That's debatable

>>36956015
How so?

For just survival people have lived on fruit only or nearly only diets and not had any issues. For anything that needs you to take in more protein such as growing I don't think it'd be good, but some people are able to adapt to extremely low protein diets over the long term

That's the point, so long as you aren't autistic and eat only one food all the time (ie a vaguely varied diet) you don't have to worry about it. If you meat your caloric intake you will very likely surpass your protein requirements.
