So first of all I know a lot of people like the peanut butter + banana combo, I know it's healthy but I was wondering if it was ok to eat this every day: 1 slice of wheat, 1tbs smuckers natty pb, and 1/2 sliced banana? I ate it for breakfast this morning with a cup of green tea and it filled me up til lunch time. Would it be better to eat this after a workout?

Also, I'm taking a health class and my teacher was talking about nutrition. She said peanut butter and wheat is so good for you because, when combined it contains all 9 essential amino acids. The same goes for beans and rice. Does anyone else know any other combos that contain all 9 essential amino acids?
 
stick with eating that in the morning, that is my opinion. The banana have both fast and slow digesting carbs so it would kick the body from catabolic into anabolic. Then, the pb will help you remain full until lunch. Pb, banana, wheat (or oatmeal) are fairly inexpensive and GREAT for you.

Strictly speaking, most food proteins (except gelatin) contain all of the essential amino acids. However, most vegetable source proteins are low in one or more of them, so that if you ate just one type of vegetable source protein, you would have to eat a lot of it to get all of the essential amino acids in needed amounts (and most vegetable source proteins are low density). Combining different types of vegetable proteins allows the shortage of an essential amino acid in one type to be compensated by a large quantity in another type.

The most common combinations of vegetable proteins are grains (wheat, rice, oats, etc.) and legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts, tofu). Combining nuts and seeds with either grains or legumes is another type of combination that improves the amino acid distribution of vegetable proteins.

Animal proteins (meat, milk, eggs, but not gelatin) are generally quite complete by themselves in that they have plenty of the essential amino acids and are not limited by one or more of them. Eating them in combination with vegetable proteins (e.g. oatmeal and milk, omelette with beans, or sushi) does improve the overall amino acid profile compared to eating just the one type of vegetable protein.

Note that leafy vegetables have a high percentage of calories from protein, but have a very low number of calories, so it is difficult to get a lot of protein from just leafy vegetables. Fruit, however, has a relatively percentage of calories from protein.

aminos and powering up for your workup

Take a piece of pizza and wrap a chicken breast in it. Use licorice whips to securely tie it shut. deep fry that sucka. and dip it in butter while hot. When it cools dip it in melted chocloate.
