I try to eat a complete protein at every meal (Dairy, eggs, chicken, tuna, etc)... but I've heard that rice and beans form a complete protein. Is it okay to have JUST rice and beans for a meal?
(Black beans and long grain brown rice)

Rice and Beans = Complete Protein Source?
I've gained and lost over 100lbs more times than any man alive should. Do as I say and not as I do.

I try to max out my incomplete protein by making them complete
Mostly i take 1) cereal and milk (dairy).. they complete each other or i take a 2)bagel with almond butter, again cereal and nuts complete each other
Rice (cereal/grain) and beans (what's the goddamn word in english!?), well whatever they complete each others too
That's the three ''official'' combination- Work smarter, not harder

This has been discussed several times before. If you use the search button, you would find that incomplete proteins do get "combined" in your body, not just on the dinner plate. Your body is a lot smarter than you will ever know.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments.

rice and beans are not a complete protein source my friend, rice are an obvious all carb source and yes beans are a source of protein but not a complete source...it is a food that lacks all essential amino acids and unless there is a complete source available when eaten(meat, dairy) a process called deamination will occur,the body will not build muscle using the beans...not to get all technical n stuff but beans are more of a carbohydrate source than protein...

Jesus, go read a book before you spread misinformation.
Beans or rice by themselves are incomplete proteins; however, when combined, they form a complete protein. This is commonly known as Complementing.
Supplementation (when you mix a complete source with an incomplete source, such as steak and rice) also works.

Though beans and rice served separately, lack all the components to make a complete protein, when combined their protein value is equal to fish, poultry or red meat.
Legumes, more commonly known as beans, are good sources of protein. Most beans are eaten fresh, but they can also be canned, frozen, or dried. Many beans do not have all the building blocks of protein called amino acids that your body needs, so you need to eat grain sources of protein. Eating a variety of foods will give you the complete protein your body needs.
Animal protein contains all nine of the essential amino acids, so it has been referred to as a "complete" protein. The nine essential amino acids can also be found in plant proteins, however no single plant source contains all nine of them. Therefore, plant protein has been referred to as "incomplete."
It was once widely believed that vegetarians had to carefully combine plant protein sources in each meal in order to obtain all nine essential amino acids. However, scientific studies have shown that the human body can store essential amino acids and combine them as necessary. So, while combining beans and rice, or peanut butter and bread produces a complete protein, it’s not necessary to consciously do this at every meal. If you eat a varied diet and adequate calories, combining proteins is not an issue.

For anyone who knows what deamination is and why it occurs in the body this is hilarious.The first rule of cheat club is you do not talk about cheat club. The second rule of cheat club is you DO NOT talk about cheat club. Third rule of cheat cub, someone yells stop!, goes limp, taps out, the cheat is over. Fourth rule, one cheat at a time, fellas. Fifth rule, cheats will go on as long as they have to. And the sixth and final rule, if this is your first night at cheat club, you have to cheat.

Who cares...........unless of course you obstain from eating meat. And not eating both sources at the same time doesn't all of a sudden make the amino acids that they do have, invaluable. Just make sure you do have both at some time during the day if you are looking for a complete protein source if your vegetarian.
One problem is....some of our competitors suffer from excessive build quality.

With a can of tuna I'll even ad Olive Oil in to get the fats!
