UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI URBINO CARLO BO Centro Linguistico d Ateneo Facoltà di Farmacia Livello B1 Scienza della Nutrizione e Tecniche Erboristiche Test 3 Part I Reading Comprehension All proteins that come from animals are called complete proteins because they contain some combination of all nine essential amino acids. Plant-based foods, except soy, are called incomplete proteins because not all amino acids are present in each type of plant. Soy is actually a complete protein. If you eat meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products or soy, you will easily get all the amino acids you need every day. If you are a vegan, you need to eat a variety of plants to be sure you get all of the amino acids you need. All animal products contain a large amount of protein and some plant foods such as legumes, nuts and seeds do as well. Fruits and vegetables generally don t have as much protein, but they still contribute to your overall protein intake. Most of us only need 50 to 70 grams of protein every day, which is about what you would find in eight ounces of beef. It really isn t difficult to get all the protein you need each day the difficult part is choosing the healthiest protein sources. When you choose your proteins, you need to think about how the protein source is prepared or what fats are naturally found with that protein. Fish, like salmon or tuna, is a terrific protein source because the fats that accompany the proteins are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for good health and often deficient in western diets. An example of a poor protein choice would be a chicken-fried steak. Steak, as a red meat, has a large amount of artery-clogging saturated fats and the style cooking (breaded, fried and drenched in gravy) adds more unhealthy fats and extra calories. 1
