The incomplete protein comes from one thing: grains are generally.low in lysine and legumes are generally low in metsomethingine (metionine?). Both are essential. Eating enough for both during a day will even out (the liver stores them) unless you are doing a shitload of exercise.
Anyway, you will have to eat really shit food to not get enough protein. I live in a country with among the world's highest recommended protein intake (Sweden, 15%E - but anything between 10 and 20 is within recommendations) which I reach without even trying.
The WHO and American lower limits are impossible to come down to unless you live on oil and rice or eat ultrashit food.

Ageed. When the quoted dietician is repeating the old canard regarding protein and amino acids, it calls into question the rest of her statements.
If you want to be healthy on a vegan - do not eat vegan junk food. Being healthy on a vegan diet means eating whole foods - minimally processed. The food you eat should be high in fiber, low in fat, and high in water content. Most of your calories should come from minimally processed starches.
The incomplete protein thing is a myth.
https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-latest/the-myth-of-compl... Frances Moore Lappé retracted her statement about incomplete protein.
These articles are essentially Vegan FUD - hoping to get you to worry about health minutia. It tries to poison the well essentially. A whole food plant based diet is a great way to maintain your health.
