    Cool story, hoe.

    Anyway, here’s some smart people writing about amino acids in “red” meat.

    Or are they PrEtEnTiOuS too?

    No, I get it. They’re obviously industry plants.

    Edit: Wrong article fixed. But yeah, so pretentious.

    Red meat is a complete source of dietary amino acids, meaning it contains all essential amino acids (EAAs), and in addition, it contains all the non-essential amino acids (NEAAs). Red meat is also the most abundant source of bioavailable heme-iron essential for muscle growth and cardiovascular health.

    Finally, red meat may also be situationally more beneficial to some groups than others, particularly in the cases of sex and aging. For pregnant women, increases in red meat consumption may be beneficial to increase the intake of semi-essential amino acids, while in the elderly, increases in red meat consumption may better preserve muscle mass compared with other dietary protein sources.

      Because you seem concerned about complete protein sources here are some other sources

      • Fish.
      • Poultry.
      • Eggs.
      • Pork.
      • Kangaroo.
      • Lamb & Mutton.
      • Dairy.
      • Whole sources of soy (like tofu, edamame, tempeh and miso).

      So what exactly about the “complex amino acid density” of beef do you enjoy?

        Well, you snide douchebag, as I said before, I like beefs culinary versatility, or if that’s too pretentious for you, it tastes good.

        As far as amino acids go:

        Meat is a major source of dietary protein and fat across the globe. Red and white meat are the major terms consumers use to refer to types of meat; however, these terms do not fully encompass the range of nutrients provided by meat sources. Red meat refers to meat from mammalian skeletal muscle, while white meat refers to poultry. Red and white meat both provide a wide range of nutritional components in the context of fatty acids, amino acids and micronutrients. Importantly, it has been demonstrated that amino acid profiles differ between red meat and white meat as well as between different sources of red meat. Red meat is a complete source of dietary amino acids, meaning it contains all essential amino acids (EAAs), and in addition, it contains all the non-essential amino acids (NEAAs). Red meat is also the most abundant source of bioavailable heme-iron essential for muscle growth and cardiovascular health.

        Meat is considered a complete dietary protein, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids (EAA). Additionally, meat contains 11 non-essential (NEAA) or semi-essential amino acids used by the human body. As previously mentioned, AAs are commonly divided into 3 categories in the context of nutritional requirements: EAA, NEAA and semi-essential amino acids. EAAs, also known as indispensable amino acids, are those which the body is unable to produce in sufficient quantities internally.

        AAs also play key roles in biological functions such as maintenance of acid-base balance, hormone secretion, and nutrient metabolism]. Additionally, as the main source of exogenous nitrogen, AAs play a crucial role in maintaining nitrogen balance within the body.

        There’s a lot more in there, but big word scary, I know.

          That isn’t specific to beef but go off.

          You seem like the sort that eats testicles because some influencer shilled it.

            Cool story, hoe. You seem like the sort who masturbates to picture of you masturbating.

            Keep malding about nothing.

                When you masturbate to a picture of yourself masturbating, make sure you think of me eating a steak and “enjoying” my amino acids when you orgasm.
