Why do people say that soy is the only complete source of protein on a vegan diet?

I'm allergic to soy, and my doctor put me on a mostly raw diet (completely vegan though) because of my medical condition.....



I know that amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, hemp seeds are complete sources of protein (they contain all the amino acids that your body doesn't produce)...



Any others?Why do people say that soy is the only complete source of protein on a vegan diet?
They do?



Eat legumes- chickpeas, lentils, peanuts/butter, almonds, soaked dried fruit, avocado, coconut,

soaked dry peas, pinto beans. A raw diet is fantastic adn if you do it right will make you realize how good you can feel. You never feel tired and sluggish in the morning. your eyes are bright and you have a ton of energy plus you can eat LOADS.



Almond milk, oat milk- can be made easily, and raw oatmeal- soak rolled oats in raw almond milk, then add grated apple, raisins, some raw sugar. It's a bircher muesli- a traditional Swiss/German muesli which is not cooked. Usually it's made with yoghurt and oats- and soaked overnight. It tastes fantastic.

USing almond milk or even juice is another way to do it, but I'd definitely use either rice, almond or oat milk.Why do people say that soy is the only complete source of protein on a vegan diet?
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. 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.



Apart from some exceptions such as quinoa or soybeans, vegetable sources of protein are more often lower in one or more essential amino acids than animal sources, especially lysine, and to a lesser extent methionine and threonine. Nonetheless, although cereal protein is particularly low in lysine compared to animal protein, even the lysine in cereals is adequate for adult needs. Because of growth, children and infant have a greater requirement for complete protein than adults.





Sources of complete protein Generally, proteins derived from animal foods (meats, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, yogurt, and milk) are complete. Proteins derived from plant foods (legumes, grains, and vegetables) tend to be limited in essential amino acids. Some are notably low, such as corn protein, which is low in lysine and tryptophan.[
Because they're idiots that know nothing about nutrition.



The only thing that's honestly coming to my mind is stupid: rice and beans. :P

It is a yummy combination though. I'm not sure how restrictive your diet is, but it seems like you could have beans.Why do people say that soy is the only complete source of protein on a vegan diet?
Simply because they don't do any research and just repeat what they've been told that one time, or they heard it from a friend who saw this guy say, that he saw someone on tv, whose parents knew a guy...





etc.
Aside from single sources, there are complementary combinations, such as rice, corn, and beans.Why do people say that soy is the only complete source of protein on a vegan diet?
You heard that soy is the only complete source of protein from Daisy?

Oh don't mind her, she's a little bit "special"

She doesn't know anything about nutrition.

Sweet potatoes to add to your list
Beans are protein. Eat beans. Nuts too. Eat beans %26amp; nuts.
