re: Rice + Beans = Complete Protein?

I don't know all the studies...only from personal experience and preference.

I eat a mostly plant based diet & feel a lot better than when I would eat a lot of meat. My energy is higher, I sleep better, & my recovery is quicker. I eat a lot of beans & lentils, along with quinoa.

I don't look at it as getting one protein over another. I enjoy getting my proteins & fiber intake in the same meal.

I'll still eat meat, but it's not the bulk of my diet.

your meat was consumed with a lot of processed crap

No. I don't skimp on groceries & I don't eat processed foods. My body rejects crap food.

When I do eat meat, the worst it's blended with is a salad. Filet, breasts, or sometimes a whole, rotisserie chicken (which admittedly, is loaded with crap).

Changed from maybe 75% meat/ 25% veggies to almost all plant. I'll eat meat or eggs maybe once a week.

Have you noticed how many cultures around the world (often poor) have some version of beans and rice?

I laughed out loud at this. Holy shite

You could seriously set Big Ben by my daily “routine,” and I certainly don’t pay attention to fiber. 49 in a few days. I feel like people just overcomplicate this shite, as it were.
