eli5 Protein absorption

345 views

I’ve heard from lifters that not complete protein sources (bread,vegan protein powder, fruit) anything without the amino acids, don’t really get used by your body for muscle growth due to the lack of amino’s. So if I eat a sandwhich with a high protein bread and eggs, will my body absorb the protein better because the eggs have those aminos?

A meal might have a smaller propotion of certain amino acids, but will contain some amount of them. We never eat just one ingredient, even if not actively trying to balance nutrients, but put something on the bread, wash it down with a drink and have a desert. Those foods complement one another to an extent, such that we don’t feel deficient when eating normally without a diet plan.
