> complete proteins If I may nitpick: - Human amino acid requirements vary with age, physical condition, and physiological state. PDCAAS and DIAAS use a young child as reference pattern. - Amino acid proportion also varies across animal foods: eggs closely match the child pattern, while beef is slightly lower in tryptophan.[0] - Some plant proteins are considered complete above scoring systems: soy, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, hemp, chia, and potato protein, though potatoes themselves are low in protein/carb.

Just like if one type of food had the perfect proportion of fat, carbs and protein, it doesn't mean it's better than a varied diet of foods that are way off in that proportion, but in different directions. (Obviously a "perfect proportion" doesn't exist and varies from people to people, but I used it for the example.)
