I don't see the connection that brought that up? Lentils are an incomplete source of protein, unlike animal proteins. They don't even have similar ratios of macro nutrients. It's a complete non-sequitur.
- uhtred 8y agoI made a perfectly logical connection, thank you. It's easy to get all the required proteins from plant sources - lentils, beans etc. That was my point.
- leshow 8y agoWhy, because they are both food? Lentils and almost all plant proteins are not complete proteins.
- uhtred 8y agoThen eat the lentils or beans with some rice and BAM! You got yourself some of that complete protein you seem to be obsessed with. Plenty of other plant based complete proteins too - soy beans, quinoa for example. Live the dream my friend.
- leshow 8y agoIf you're looking at rice as a protein source IMO you're looking in the wrong place. It's almost completely a carbohydrate. That's like eating a slice of bread 'for the protein'.
