Animal proteins and plant proteins
Info source
Generally, proteins derived from animal foods (meats, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, yogurt, and milk) are complete, though gelatin is an exception.[1]
Proteins derived from plant foods (legumes, grains, and vegetables) tend to have less of one or more essential amino acid.[6]
Some are notably low, such as corn protein, which is low in lysine and tryptophan.[9]
