10 Plant Proteins Ranked (Best to Worst).

You don't need meat to hit your protein — and one food on this list has more protein per 100 grams than chicken breast. This video runs ten plant proteins through the same three questions: how much protein, is it complete, and if not, what fills the gap. It also clears up the "protein combining" myth (the author retracted it in 1981), the soy-and-hormones question with the 41-trial meta-analysis, and why spirulina's "70% protein" claim is technically true and practically useless. ▶ 10 "Bad" Foods That Were Never the Problem → ▶ 10 Foods I Eat Every Day → TIMESTAMPS 0:00 The one idea this video hangs on — complete vs incomplete protein 2:17 #1 Edamame 4:14 #2 Lentils 6:08 #3 Quinoa 7:12 #4 Tempeh 8:56 #5 Seitan 10:37 #6 Spirulina 12:34 #7 Lupini 14:28 #8 Nuts 16:09 #9 Seeds 17:41 #10 Tofu 19:43 The whole strategy on a sticky note WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS Protein per 100 g (cooked/as-eaten) for all ten foods, shown on one chart Which ones are complete proteins on their own, and which pair with what The 2021 meta-analysis of 41 trials on soy and male hormones Why seitan is off-limits for celiac disease, and why lupini must be debittered Why neither tempeh nor spirulina is a reliable source of vitamin B12 Sources referenced on screen include USDA FoodData Central, Circulation (2020), the Shanghai Breast Cancer Survival Study, Reed et al. 2021 (Reproductive Toxicology), and the PREDIMED trial.
