Document Summary

Digestibility of the protein: meat, milk, eggs and beans have good digestibility. Other nutrients found in the protein foods. High in fibre, iron, calcium, b vitamins: omega 3 fats. Protein quality: not all proteins are created equal. Proteins that don"t contain all the essential amino acids are considered lower in quality. Animal foods meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk. Very few plants quinoa, soy (tofu, tempeh) Proteins found in grains are low in isoleucine and lysine (oats, rice, wheat, rye) Beans are low in methionine and tryptophan (black, pinto, chick peas, kidney) Eating them together provides all the amino acids! A closer look at vegetarianism: many kinds. Semi-vegetarians eat fish and/or poultry in addition to milk and eggs. Lacto-ovo-pesco vegetarian eats milk, eggs and fish. Meat calories cost more than plant calories. In terms of amount of grain fed to farm animals. Vegetarian diets are high in fibre, vitamins, minerals, low in saturated fats.
