It says in the above link "the only problem is that vegetable sources of
protein, with the exception of soybeans, are not complete proteins, so you
need to eat more than one in order to get the complete protein." so, is
soy complete? what about chickpeas?

I learned the following about 30 years ago, so please take it with as many
grains of salt as is appropriate.

Yes. Soybeans are the only vegetable source of a complete protein as they
do contain all of the 8(?) essential amino acids and they are also in the
correct proportion required for them to create the remaining amino acids.
Thus, soybeans equate to a whole protein.

I don't know about chickpeas, but I doubt that they are a complete protein.
