z0rzz Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Along with legumes and whole grains, a decent chunk of my daily protein intake comes from seitan due to its relative cheapness and protein-rich nature. Unfortunately seitan is lysine-deficient and doesn't have the best amino acid profile. What foods compliment seitan's amino acid profile? Should I just eat a stack of diverse veggies with it? I've heard soy can help with the lysine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman1234 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Legumes are a good source of lysine.Unhulled sesame seeds are a good source of methionine (another amino acid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
