Protein complete or incomplete

Are the proteins that Chronometer reports Complete or both Complete and Incomplete? Thanks.

  • You can look at the amino acid content. If those 9 essintial amino acids are present, it means that food has complete protein. There are only 2 amino acids missing from the Cronometer database (Glutamine and Asparagine), and both are nonessential.

    Thanks Marus! So that means that the **Total **Protein figure given opposite "Protein" on the diary page indicates total complete protein Plus non essential protein?

  • Yes, total protein includes all amino acids. All that matters is to make the target for those 9 essential amino acids. Then you cand say that you ate complete protein.
