Whole grain bread and peanut butter are both sources of incomplete protein, which means they do not contain all of the essential amino acids needed by the body. However, by combining them, the patient can create a meal that contains all of the necessary amino acids. This is known as a complementary protein. Chicken, eggs, and meat are all sources of complete protein, which means they contain all of the essential amino acids needed by the body, and do not need to be paired with another protein source. However, the prompt specifically asks for a food that should be consumed with a complementary protein.
