At the risk of being nitpicky (sorry)... what you mean to say is "essential amino acids". Proteins are made from 20 different amino acids. Not all proteins have all 20 kinds though. Animal protein (meat) usually does, vegetable protein usually doesn't. Human bodies can made some fraction of the 20 on our own (I forget the number), but the others we have to get from our diet.
I can't give you a complete answer because I don't know it. However I too am a vegetarian, and so this info is important for me. What I do know... soy is complete. Beans + rice (not either alone) is complete. If you're gonna be a lacto-ovo dude, both dairy and eggs are complete.
Hope that helps some.  |

| Eleven of the proteins can be synthesized from other nutrients but 9 must be obtained directly from the diet. :) |

Most Vegetables contain some Protein, but nearly all if not all contain very inferior amounts.
You being Vegetarian, have limited options regards "Complete Proteins"
These include.
Soybeans
Tofu
Nattokinase
Milk
Yoghurt
Low Fat Cheese
Eggs
You can get other Legumes as a source of Protein, and things like Lentils and Rice, but they are incomplete Proteins, (I don't know which they don't have).
All those are suitable enough for Vegetarians. |

People become Vegetarian, because they have issues with animals being killed.
I don't in part. I have almost never thought about the origins of the flesh sources I choose to eat, when I eat them. |

| Ouch swans! Sounds painful. Maybe be a little more careful next time you decide to do that lift? :) I'm glad you're ok. Sounds like that could have turned out much worse! |

Actually, for some, it's not the thought of animals being killed...although in my mind a person should be willing to kill whatever animal s/he eats, so if you don't know how that cow becomes that steak, you should really go find out. It's not a pretty story.
More importantly in my mind is what goes into the meat. We pump so many hormones and antibiotics into these animals and keep them in ways that are just unnatural. These hormones and drugs get passed on to us through the meat we eat...and who knows what that's going to do to us. These days, there are a few different options...grass-fed cows, free-range chicken...that are healthier.
But for me, I stopped eating meat so long ago that it makes me sick now. So that's why I don't eat it these days.
I do think animal protein has its place, so I have always eaten seafood, concentrating on white-meat fish, which is less fatty and has less mercury.
To each his own, though, like you said. |
