You didn't really need to, if you are not in a heavily restricted diet. Adam Ragusea has a nice video about this: https://youtu.be/psAlJtgeQsY

IIRC, his point was just that it doesn't have to be in one meal. Your diet as a whole still needs all the amino acids.

[-] tja@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Kind of. Most meals already have all the amino acids you need. Even if you were just eating plain rice. But just not as much from some types as others. In beans it would be the other way around.

If you are already regulating what you eat and praying a lot of attention to the nutritional value or the calorie count, it might make sense to use this hack to limit the amount of food you are eating.

But if not, you probably are already getting all the amino acids and proteins you need. Just not in the maximal efficient and compact way.

Yeah, and that's exactly what we're talking about in the context of protein completeness.

If you are already regulating what you eat and praying a lot of attention to the nutritional value or the calorie count [...]

The context of this comment chain is bodybuilding, so it applies for the majority of this population. But you're right that for the general population, you don't need to concern yourself with any of this as long as you have a varied diet. I'd still encourage everyone to have lots of rice and beans though because that shit's delicious.
