Your body can’t make all of the amino acids it needs to build muscle and stay healthy, so you have to get some from your diet. Protein that contains all the amino acids your body can’t produce is called a complete protein, which mostly comes from animal sources like meat, milk and eggs. Your body also uses protein from plants like nuts, legumes and grains, but they are not considered complete proteins and have to be combined together with other sources to provide a complete protein.
