Title: "Complete protein" - carrots, and pretty much every vegetable.
Post by: tbombz on March 08, 2013, 11:57:16 PM
check this out, basically every single vegetable has a complete amino acid profile containing some of every essential amino acid.

carrots, for example

What's your point? This is completely useless info for a bodybuilder unless you want to eat 200 carrots per day.

Yes, it's nutritional information like this that explains why Bugs Bunny isn't swole.

Very few veggies are complete proteins. That's why you have to combine them with other veggies or grains to get complete proteins, if you're on a vegan/vegetarian diet.

Red beans and rice are a prime example.

There are two schools of thought on this:

The old school says you have to eat complementary veggies/grains in the same setting, to get all the essential aminos.

The new school says you don't, as long as you eat the right combos of grains and veggies, throughout the day.

I'd go with the old school, personally. That helps because, even for most who consume meat, getting those vegetable proteins saves you a lot of money.

One chicken breast, with an ample amount of black beans and rice, will give you the same amount of protein as two chicken breasts.

One day you're going to have to quit trying to just eat phallic shaped foods and start eating a normal bodybuilding diet. This "hey look at me, I can fit cucumbers and carrots and penis shaped vegetables in my mouth" gig is getting old.

Great thread. It's why you are stronger and healthier from vegetables.

I didn't ignore your chart. Carrots don't have those essential amino in significant numbers.

100 grams (3.5 oz) of carrots have LESS THAN ONE GRAM of protein, total. You'll be eating carrots from now, until the good Lord returns, trying to ingest enough protein to put on size.

That would be like saying that Super Mega Mass 2000 (a favorite weight gainer of mine from back in the day) has creatine in it. Technically it did....a whopping 100 mg per serving.

Even the way I used it, I'd have been hard-pressed to get 1 gram of creatine from it, on a daily basis.

if your not eating anything but raw,  natural , unprocessed plant foods; then your bodies PH system and hormonal output will be optimized towards healthy processes that protein needs will be minimal. The cells of your body will not be needing constant renewal, and growth of muscles will require only as much protein as will be added to your total weight in lbs from the process.

This might help you a little. Just make sure you read the whe paragraph.  ;D
A complete protein (or whole protein) is a source of protein that contains an adequate proportion of all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for the dietary needs of humans or other animals.[1] Some incomplete protein sources may contain all essential amino acids, but a complete protein contains them in correct proportions for supporting biological functions in the human body.

  a ton of rice and beans may give you the same protein as chicken breasts    but you will just get fat and have gas

Don't forget that Taylor eats these vegetables directly through his anus, so gets a higher yield of protein

I am using industrial juicer to make fresh juice everyday, usually 4 vegetables/fruits combo.
Don't buy those white plastic ones, too complicated to clean.

I know. My wife had one of those and it was a pain in the neck to clean, especially after using carrots.
