Just been to the wonderful @megacitycomics in Camden where I’ve just picked up some much sought after early @2000AD missing from my collection, that were not only in excellent condition but at a great price too. The staff + owner couldn’t do enough to help. Brilliant shop!

4. Incomplete proteins do not have all 9 EAAs - sources: pulses, seitan, seeds, nuts & grains - need to be combined to make them complete (an issue is over consuming carbs so be careful). TIP: Include good quality complete / or combined incomplete sources at every meal or snack.

3. Complete proteins contain all 9 EAAs-that are very beneficial to health - sources: meat, fish, eggs, soya (tempeh/tofu), mycoprotein & dairy (limit, high fat/carb content), quinoa, buckwheat & amaranth (predominantly carbohydrates and should not be eaten solely as proteins)...

2. Proteins - made from 20 Amino Acids, (9 are Essential [EAAs] - they need to be supplied by the diet). Dietary wise, proteins break down slowly - keeping you fuller for longer & helping to stabilise blood sugar levels - leaving you less tempted to snack on sweet / fatty foods..
