CheckProteinContent: Protein is protein is protein. The key is getting all of them, including t he ones your body can't make, and deciding just how you want to get them. they are a part of every living organism except viruses but are mostly intertwined with other biologicals (like carbohydrates and fats), the most efficient of which is some form of animal muscle, or hidden away in nuts, beans, soy, barley, rye, etc.
