More difficult to digest because of fiber. Has complete amino acid profile- right mix of all 9 essential amino acids. Dairy and other animal products have right mix. Protein from plant sources are usually incomplete. Amino acid in the shortest supply of an incomplete protein is limiting amino acid. Mixing and matching incomplete proteins to make complete proteins. Precise protein needs can be calculated by measuring nitrogen consumption and excretion. Amino acids cannot be metabolized in the cytosol, but glucose can. Muscle requires more energy to maintain than fat. Amino acids are less energy dense than fat. Grams of protein . 8 grams per kg of body. Endurance athletes 1. 2-1. 4 g protein per kg of body weight.
