amino acids. The are 23 amino acids. Our bodies produce some. There are 8 amino acids that our bodies can't produce, we have to take them in from food sources. If they contain all 8, they are a complete protein, like meat fish, poultry, eggs. If they have some of the proteins, they are a particial or incomplete protein, like whole grains, nuts, legumes, dairy products.
