Why is it that our bodies cannot extract the protein from vegatables or whole grains?
Protein extraction from vegies or whole grains
- Thread starter goin on 4T
- Start date
We get protein from them. They are just considered incomplete proteins since they are missing, or do not have enough of, one or more of the essential amino acids.
So if I were to add something to say oatmeal that had the essential amino acids then those proteins in the oatmeal would count?
Does cottage cheese have the amino acids for the oatmeal proteins to be used?
Yeah I don't know about that.
I would just try to add a complete source of protein to the meal and not sweat the small details
I really need to know this.
I have read that when you combine whole wheat bread and peanut butter you get a complete protein source. I think it counts why wouldnt it? Its protein

Bill Starr has an answer to this in his book The strongest shall survive. he says
If an incomplete protein is eaten along with a complete protein or even with another incomplete protein, then they complement each other. It is important, therefore, to eat some complete protein at each meal for the liver only stores complete protein. If there is so much as an hour time lag between eating incomplete proteins and complete protein, the value of the incomplete is lost. So, in order to insure you are utilizing all the protein, even if it be an incomplete source, a bit of complete protein, such as milk, with each meal is in order.
goin on 4t - cottage cheese has all 8 EAA's. If you added that then by Bill Starr's definition you can count the oatmeal protein.
@gladiator - yeah that counts. The essential amino acids not found in peanut butter are found in whole wheat bread thus making a complete protein.
Here's something interesting:
40 years ago women started on an all-gelatin diet. Gelatin is lacking only two essential amino acids and is almost lacking three others. After some length of time the proponents of this fad diet came down with specific symptoms of ill health associated with protein deficiency.
If Bill Starr is 100% correct, then BCAA's are pointless unless you have a complete protein source no longer than an hour after. Although I don't know if the branched chain part has anything to do with needing other EAA's.
