Ok, first I hate that the media is still pushing the Complete Protein Myth.
And this statement from the beginning of the article is at least partly false.
"However, many plant sources of protein are too low in or missing one or more of these essential amino acids. They're considered incomplete protein sources."
The next sentence was a good one.
"Still, given that plant foods contain varying amounts of amino acids, you can manage to get enough of each essential amino acid throughout the day by eating a varied diet."
And then this line sort of saves the day
"For example, grains like rice are too low in lysine to be considered a complete source of protein. Yet, by also eating lentils or beans, which are higher in lysine, throughout the day, you can be sure to obtain all nine essential amino acids."
This is the point of the whole article.
"Nevertheless, some people like knowing they're getting complete proteins in a particular meal."
And the factual info in the article is good.
