Hi there
When talking about limiting amino acids what does it really mean...
What I think it means is say we have a food eg wheat it has all the essential amino acids (aa) in it except one of them is not in the correct amount we need...does this mean that all the other aa present will not work or they will work but just limited to the limiting aa and the other amount will be degraded??--is this correct?
Also if essential aa needs are so low then would it be possible to say eat a burger (which said had 4/9 essential aa) and then say another food which had the other 5 essential aa would that be OK for the daily requirement?...so really we only have to eat a tiny bit in everyday life to get the aa??
Thanks in advance_06er
