First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at whether you need to eat complementary plant proteins—like rice and beans—at the same meal to get all the amino acids your body needs. Researchers will compare protein metabolism when proteins are combined in one meal versus spread out over the day. The study involves 40 healthy young and older adults, each following five different 9-day diet periods.
