is soya chunks a complete protein - #27479
I am really curious if anyone knows if soya chunks a complete protein? Here’s the thing, I’ve been trying to eat more plant-based lately, and I heard a lot about these soya chunks being a good source of protein. I found some in the store and added them to my stir-fry, but I keep thinking about whether or not they have all the amino acids we need. I read somewhere that complete proteins are really important, but I’m honestly not sure how to tell if soya chunks fit that bill. My friend said they do, but another one said it’s complicated. Like, I get that beans and rice make a complete protein together, but is that the same case for soya chunks? I had some weird symptoms last week, maybe from experimenting with my diet, and now I’m worried I might be missing essential amino acids if those soya chunks aren't a complete protein after all! Should I be dining on more than those? I mean, they taste great, but if they're not actually a complete protein, does that mean I gotta eat something else with them? Super confused here and kinda stressing about hitting my protein goals!
