While meat is a good source of protein, egg whites, cheese and seafood also contain this nutrient. Protein is present in plant foods, too, although in incomplete form meaning they are missing one or more essential amino acids. However, if you pair legumes and grain (beans and rice, peanut butter on whole-wheat bread), grains or nuts with dairy products (macaroni and cheese, pizza, cereal and milk), you can make a complete protein. | |
