All proteins are divided into complete and incomplete. In the complete protein, for example seafood, meat, fish, eggs, contains the entire range of useful amino acids. Dairy products typically contain 1-2 essential amino acids. Protein food digested from two to five hours, and thus, satiety will be felt long enough.
