Proteins are broken down into constituent amino acids during digestion anyway, so as long as it has a similar (complete) amino profile as, say, albumin or chicken, it should in theory be fine.



That's the question - whether or not it has a good amino profile (and reasonable low insulinemic index).

Also gluten is a composite of proteins too but it's actually harmful not only to people with celiac disease as it triggers production of zonulin.
