Detailed explanation-2: -The biological value relates to how many amino acids are present in a protein. If a food is missing one or more of the indispensable amino acids, it has a low biological value (LBV). For example, baked beans have an LBV. If a food has all the indispensable amino acids, it has a high biological value (HBV).

Detailed explanation-3: -1) Vegetarians don’t eat meat, so they need to get their protein from elsewhere. 2) Beans, lentils and nuts are all good sources of protein, as are eggs. There are also alternative proteins: Soya beans are one of the few plant-based HBV protein sources.
