- Dylanlacey 16y agoTrue, but having said that, you can make a complete protein, I believe, by mixing a grain and a legume.
- chipsy 16y agoBut for most people that is also harder to digest. The "sleepy hour" after eating a huge burrito isn't a mystery, it's because you've eaten something that made your body focus only on digestion. That said, I also know someone with a sensitivity to meat, so there's no one-size-fits-all rule.
- code_duck 16y agoI was a vegetarian for a couple of years in my teens, and then I ate a hamburger. I was very, very tired mmediately afterwards and for the whole next day... I actually think your body works harder digesting meat vs. vegetables and grains.
- code_duck 16y agoNot alone, but in combination they do. There is nothing unique about what is found in meat.
