In this episode, Rachel dives into six questions to ask yourself when it comes to protein sources, how to better understand protein quality, comparing plant proteins to animal proteins, complementary proteins, and much more!

"Just because you can combine incomplete plant protein sources to get complete proteins, it doesn't mean that they're now equal in quality and bioavailability to animal proteins." Rachel Gregory

Today's Question:

  • Can you explain the difference in the quality of protein in foods? I've noticed some nutrition content contains the number of grams of protein and a percentage and then some do not.
  • What does ‘grams’ of protein mean when it comes to weight vs. composition?

Top Takeaways:

  • How to understand and ‘score’ protein on the bioavailability index scale a.k.a how easily your body breaks down and absorbs different protein sources 
  • Six questions to ask yourself when choosing protein 
  • Nutrient-dense foods: plants vs. animals and organ meats
  • 90/10 Protein Rule and how to incorporate this into macro counting
