Yeah and most of it is incomplete plant protein missing amino acids.
I'm confused by this since protein is much lower calorie than fat or carbs.
Common misconception. Soybean, quinoa, buckwheat provide all essential amino acids in good proportions
almost all plant proteins contain all nine essential amino acids, just in lower proportions.
protein and carbohydrate are both 4 calories per gram?
When you include the thermic effect of food protein is closer to 3 calories per gram. Ie it burns about a calorie to digest a gram of protein
Protein serving size is generally lower than carbs in a typical meal. It's not that simple.
