Unit 6 Discussion help- complementary proteins

Hello all,

With this units discussion you need to look at complementary proteins. Proteins are made up of amino acids and there are 20 in your diet. Some proteins or foods, do not have all the amino acids you need. That is what complementary proteins are about- getting foods that balance out the amino acids.

Here is a great link:

Hope this helps you!

Fondly,
