Beef tendon is a low fat, low carb, high protein food.

However, the protein in beef tendon is mostly collagen.

It is unsuitable as a sole protein source, because it does not contain all the essential amino acids in sufficient amounts.

The most abundant amino acids are glycine, alanine, proline, and hydroxyproline, none of which are essential.
