Animal proteins, such as steak and chicken, are a good source of complete proteins as they have all of the essential amino acids in them. Vegetable sources of protein, on the other hand, often lack one or more amino acids. To make these ‘incomplete” sources into complete proteins for your body to use, you should combine them with grains or other plant-based foods.
