Vegetable protein

Humans require about 50 grams of dietary protein per day from plant or animal sources. Dietary protein is required to supply nutritionally indispensable amino acids: Dietary protein is also required to supply nitrogen for the biosynthesis of nutritionally dispensable amino acids: as well as other physiologically important nitrogen-containing compounds such as
 * histidine,
 * isoleucine,
 * leucine,
 * lysine,
 * methionine,
 * phenylalanine,
 * threonine,
 * tryptophan, and
 * valine.
 * aspartic acid,
 * asparagine,
 * glutamic acid,
 * alanine, and
 * serine
 * nucleic acids,
 * creatine, and
