Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

You didn't really need to, if you are not in a heavily restricted diet. Adam Ragusea has a nice video about this: https://youtu.be/psAlJtgeQsY
IIRC, his point was just that it doesn't have to be in one meal. Your diet as a whole still needs all the amino acids.
Kind of. Most meals already have all the amino acids you need. Even if you were just eating plain rice. But just not as much from some types as others. In beans it would be the other way around.
If you are already regulating what you eat and praying a lot of attention to the nutritional value or the calorie count, it might make sense to use this hack to limit the amount of food you are eating.
But if not, you probably are already getting all the amino acids and proteins you need. Just not in the maximal efficient and compact way.
Yeah, and that's exactly what we're talking about in the context of protein completeness.
The context of this comment chain is bodybuilding, so it applies for the majority of this population. But you're right that for the general population, you don't need to concern yourself with any of this as long as you have a varied diet. I'd still encourage everyone to have lots of rice and beans though because that shit's delicious.
