An example of a complementary protein is macaroni and cheese. Combining two different incomplete proteins or a small amount of any complete protein with an incomplete protein boosts the overall quality to that of a complete protein. Proteins that can be combined to obtain sufficient quantities and proportions of all essential amino acids are called complementary proteins. The components of the other foods do not act together to form a complete protein.
