Eating ground beef and eggs together gives your body all the essential amino acids it needs, and these amino acids are easily absorbed. The collagen from the connective tissue in ground beef adds a type of protein that balances out what's in the eggs.
See the scientific wording
Consuming ground beef and eggs together provides a complete amino acid profile with high bioavailability, as the collagen protein from connective tissue in ground beef complements the protein in eggs.
