Food Combining
Food Combining - Amino Acids & Plant Based Protein Plant protein is not 100% complete and aviable for your body. There are a couple whole foods that have an equal amount of all amino acids like quinoa, buckwheat and lupine, which means they are 100% bioaviable and the human body can almost use every gramm of protein to build muscle. To ensure that all of your body´s functions are running smoothly and to build muscle you need the best bio-aviability of the protein you eat. That means a balanced amount of all 8 essential amino acids is needed. A limited amino acid leads to less muscle protein, the surplus of all other 7 is going to be wasted. So you can say it works this way: a team is only as strong as it's weakest member. How to balance it out? Add foods, which are high in that lacking amino acid! Food combining is key to create whole plant based protein sources. Corn for example is limited in tryptophane, possible tryptophane sources to balance it out are p...
