From what I have read of the current research, whether or not you eat a complete protein is less relevant than whether or not you're getting enough of the right kinds of individual proteins for your goals. For instance, you can get away with eating a more incomplete protein at meal times if you are taking something like a high leucine BCAA, or if your protein powder is fortified with them. Some proteins may be "complete" in terms of having all of the essential proteins, but the ratios may not be ideal.
I hope this makes sense.
