The winner is: <strong>Potatoes and eggs!<\/strong> Okay, that might sound like a boring loser team, but it really is the hidden champion of protein combinations. Second place on the podium goes to the <strong>milk and wheat<\/strong> team, closely followed by the <strong>egg and soy<\/strong> duo. Among the purely plant-based teams, it\u2019s a combination of <strong>beans and corn<\/strong> that wins the trophy. But what makes these teams such successful suppliers of protein?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Amino acids: Building blocks for protein power<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cThe better a protein is at building up our body\u2019s own protein, the more valuable it is,\u201d explains Hanna Abelein. We need proteins to build our muscles, cells, enzymes and hormones. All proteins are made up of different building blocks, called amino acids. If a protein-rich foodstuff consists of the amino acid building blocks that are very similar to our body\u2019s own proteins, the body can then quickly and efficiently build everything we need.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5351\" src=\"https:\/\/aramark-foodboost.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Hanna-Abelein-Aramark-Hufeland-Haus-T-760x434.jpg\" alt=\"Di\u00e4tassistentin Hanna Abelein in der Aramark-Kantine im Hufeland-Haus\" width=\"760\" height=\"434\" \/><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Limiting amino acids bring construction to a halt<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Nutrition expert Hanna compares protein supply to a construction site. If a central component is missing, the entire building process grinds to a halt. Proteins cannot be built if even just one essential amino acid is missing. Foods that are rich in protein but do not provide the crucial limiting amino acid cannot help building progress. The only thing that will help here is a food that provides what the other is missing. These are the protein dream teams. They complement each other perfectly and together they provide all we need to efficiently and quickly build up our protein power.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Liven up plant proteins <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As the human body is more like that of an animal than a plant, we can generally utilize animal proteins better than plant proteins, explains nutrition expert Hanna Abelein. What\u2019s more, plant proteins are often more difficult to digest. However, when cleverly combined even plant proteins can keep up with animal proteins. A combination of beans and corn easily beats meat or milk. It even manages to almost reach the protein value of eggs, which is set by definition at 100. Combination of plant and animal proteins can even attain values far higher than 100.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The best plant proteins<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Incidentally, soy and quinoa are particularly beneficial plant proteins that contain well-balanced combinations of amino acids. And their proteins are easy to digest, so our bodies can absorb them very well. In comparison, grains from Germany contain very little lysine. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to combine them with yellow corn, which is rich in lysine. Pulses and cheese can also fill the lysine gap left by grains. In turn, pulses are lacking in the amino acid methionine, which can be balanced out by combining them with grains, nuts or seeds.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5356\" src=\"https:\/\/aramark-foodboost.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Foodboost-Eiwei\u00dfreiche-pflanzliche-Lebensmittel-T-760x434.jpg\" alt=\"eiwei\u00dfreiche vegetarische Lebensmittel\" width=\"760\" height=\"434\" \/><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Protein power on your plate<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Hanna Abelein\u2019s top tip: For optimum protein power, try eating scrambled eggs and potatoes or potato salad with egg more often. In the mornings, you could have a bowl of muesli with wheat flakes and milk, or pancakes made with soy flour and eggs. Bread and pasta with cheese also provide an increase in protein value.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For vegans, the nutritionist recommends a super protein bowl of colorful vegetables, beans and corn and topped with nuts, for example. Other excellent combinations include oats with soy milk or bread with hummus. And eating a slice of bread with a bowl of lentil stew is an easy way to increase your protein power.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"258\"><strong>Individual biological values<\/strong><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"362\"><strong>Combined biological values*<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Egg<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">100<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Potato + egg \u00a0 (64+36 %)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">136<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Pork<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">85<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Milk + wheat flour\u00a0 (75+25 %)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">125<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Poultry, beef<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">80<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Egg + soy\u00a0 (60+40%)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">124<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Cow&#8217;s milk<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">72<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Egg + wheat\u00a0 (68+32%)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">123<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Soy protein<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">81<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Egg + milk\u00a0 (76+24 %)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">119<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Rye flour<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">78<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Milk + potato\u00a0 (51+49 %)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">114<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Potatoes<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">76<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Egg + corn\u00a0 (88+12 %)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">114<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Beans, corn<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">72<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\">Beans + corn\u00a0 (52+48 %)<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Rice<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">66<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"68\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Wheat flour<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">47<\/td>\n<td width=\"294\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"68\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" width=\"620\">*Percentages in brackets show the protein proportion of each foodstuff.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Source: Elmadfa I, Leitzmann C.: Ern\u00e4hrung des Menschen [Human nutrition].
