Protein in vegetables tends to be lower quality Vegetable protein is poor quality compared to the protein in meat however its possible to increase the quality of vegetable protein by combining it with other plant foods. This is a common way vegetarians obtain high quality protein with a diet low in calories and fat. An example of combining plant proteins would be a vegetable curry with rice or naan bread. The two foods complement each other because vegetable protein lacks certain essential amino acids but these are present in the rice and bread forming a meal with a complete protein source. If all essential amino acids are not present vegetable protein cannot be used for growth or maintenance of tissues. In this case the vegetable protein is usually burned as fuel or may be converted into fat. More info on vegetable protein combinations for complete protein sources here!
