Proteins containing less than the full chain of AA in their peptide bonds, mainly missing essential AAs that make the body unable to reconstruct them fully upon breaking.

i dont think u get what i meant

maybe i worded it weird, its late

you can get these from other foods though no?

in other words, eat foods that contain the missing links lol

do this for me plz and paste it here.

if i can get my bcaa's from various foods i can incorperate a new diet made of strict combinations of vegetables.

I thought there was 8, apparently theres 3??

yeah im looking it up now

oh no there are 9 ESSENTIAL amino acids, which is what confused me.

and 3 BCAA's (Branched-Chain Amino acids)

Branced Chain Amino Acids

Leucine
Valine
Isoleucine


What Is The Difference Between Essential and Non-Essential Amino Acids?

Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. You must get them from complete protein foods or combinations of incomplete vegetable foods. There are 9 essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids.

The term "non-essential" can be misleading since all amino acids are essential for proper metabolism and certain non-essential amino acids, such as glutamine, become very essential. The 13 non-essential amino acids are alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, cysteine, cystine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, hydroxyproline, proline, serine, & tyrosine.

The essential branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) are of special importance for athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle, rather than in the liver. Here's how this works: After digestion once protein is broken down into individual amino acids these aminos can either be used to build new proteins or be burned as fuel to produce energy.

Wtf is this talk about BCAA's?

No one said anything about BCAA's

hes thinking all he needs is spinnach in his diet for protein

Geez in that chart the % of protein in veggies is taken from the total amount of macros in them, which is almost null.

You'd have to eat well over a kg of spinach to have the same the of prots you'd have with some oz of meat. And even then, it wouldnt be the same.
