Amino acids?

Amino acid profile? Wait, that sounds like a call for, wait for it, Chemistry Man!
There are 20 amino acids (more or less) that you need in your diet, but only 12 of them are 'essential' (you can't make them from the other ones). So I don't know what the 'profile' is, but 'complete' proteins (those that have all 12 AAs) are such things as beef, eggs and, I believe, chicken and pork. If you want more then go to "http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/" (I can't figure out how to embed that HTML link).
It's Amino world without Chemists
