It isnt just about the amount of protein but the Quality or Biological Value of the protein that needs to be considered.
If a protein conatins all of the INdispesable amino acids, it is said to have a 'HIGH Biological Value' (HBV). If a Protein doesnt contain all the INdispensable amino acids, it has a 'LOW Biological Value' (LBV).
Sources of HBV (Animal Foods) - Meat, fish, eggs and GELATINE
Sources of LBV (Plant Foods) - Cereals, nuts, pulses, quorn and SOYA
