This is a great article about how essential amino acids function and and what you can do to make sure you're getting complete proteins. http://nutrition.about.com/od/askyournutritionist/f/protein_combo.htm
I was really surprised to read that there ARE vegetarian sources of complete proteins. No one told me this back in the 80's when I first started asking.
Make sure you know there are only 5 plants that are considered a main protein source in any meal. The list includes quinoa, buckwheat, hempseed, blue green algae and soybeans. These are the only vegetarian sources that provide complete protein.
