Protein in bread is IncompleteThe protein quality in bread is generally of a lesser quality than the protein in foods of animal origin. However, if bread protein is combined with certain other plant foods, it can produce a complete protein source. Some vegetarians use this practise to obtain higher quality proteins from a diet full of vegetables and from a diet low in calories. An example of making a complete protein would be baked beans on toast. The two foods complement each other because bread protein lacks some essential amino acids which are present within the beans. This helps to make beans on toast a complete protein source. It was once believed that if all essential amino acids were not present within the same meal, the protein in bread, or other incomplete foods, could not be used for growth or maintenance of tissues. It was also thought that the protein in bread would more likely be burned as fuel because of its incomplete nature. Therefore, it could even be converted into fat and stored if an individual ingested too many calories in their diets. However, the former theory has been disproved within the last few years.

Remember, portion sizes when viewing the values. As an example, papadums are very light, so eating 100 grams would not be the same as eating 100 grams of bread. This weight in bread could easily be achieved within a few slices!
