I am learning nutrition and I understand that proteins break down into aminos and aminos turn back to certain proteins where they. There are 9 essential out of 20.
My question is, how do I know I am getting all of them from a vegan diet? From what I understand it is possible but unlike meat sorces which contain all 9 essentials, vegan foods are not a complete source. Therefore one who follows a vegan diet should take into consideration sources and proportions for a complete spectrul. Is there a table somewhere when we can see the ammount one can assimilate through different foods?
As long as you eat a variety of protein sources (e.g. don’t just eat exclusively peanut butter for your protein) you’ll be fine. Essential amino acid deficiencies aren’t a problematic situation found in vegan populations.
you can check with an application like cronometer by listing the foods you eat weekly.
You don‘t really have to look at ratios or certain proportions of different food if you have a varied diet that meets your tdee and includes grains, beans and soy products, peas, lentils, nuts/seeds.
without tofu and oats it would be kinda hard to eat enough Lysine for me personally and if you do have restrictions/need super high protein content with low kcal there‘s still plant protein isolate or stuff like tvp
