Bio-availability of proteins

Postby richard-a on Wed Jun 24, 2009 4:49 pm

Inspired from a post on http://www.bodybuildingforum.ie/diet/protein-question-t928-10.html

Does anyone know which are the most bio-available proteins, and what can we do to improve the digestibility of protein in meals? Is this even important in workout nutrition? (I figure it is very important)

I've always read that eggs are the gold standard in proteins, though I don't want to consume an excess of them (I already eat 3-6 every day) what for example, is the bio-availability of beef, which I also eat a lot of?

That's the wikipedia's article on the subject of biological value of certain protein types.

Also the Amino Acid score is a different way to measure protein quality:

P.S: I don't know about the quality of the articles though. :D .I guess-hope they are alright but in wikipedia anybody can write articles...
