Everything which has been alive, and so has grown, contains protein in its cells.

However, some foods are a far better source of protein than others. Milk is a very good source of protein, and it contains all of the amino acids needed by the body. Eggs are also a complete source of protein.

A complete source of protein provides all of the amino acids needed by the body. There are eight essential amino acids which the adult human must get through food, and they are all protein variants.

Eating two foods together in the same meal can provide the essential amino acids as well. For instance, beans on toast contains every amino acid which the body cannot synthesize itself.

Nuts, pulses, meat, fish, dairy products and even vegetables are sources of protein.
