On the “complete protein” concept, by a famous popularizer of plant-based protein-combining[0]
——
There is no need to combine foods at individual meals.
“In 1971 I stressed protein complementarity because I assumed that the only way to get enough protein ... was to create a protein as usable by the body as animal protein. 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.”

- metadat 4y agoWhy did you quit there, leaving the 3 exceptions as a cliffhanger!? > 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). This part could be important for some folks. :)
