> The net protein utilization is profoundly affected by the limiting amino acid content—the essential amino acid found in the smallest quantity in the foodstuff. It is therefore a good idea to mix foodstuffs that have different weaknesses in their essential amino acid distributions. > The limiting amino acid for wheat is lysine. From what I gather, you still can process all of the protein from wheat if you get lysine from somewhere else: > A vegetarian or low animal protein diet can be adequate for protein, including lysine, if it includes both cereal grains and legumes. This also means that any statements about protein utilization from compound meals are more-or-less bogus if done without calculating the different amino acids. |
