   @distel I see wildly different claims for recommended protein intake:

   - 56g/day (men)
   - 46g/day (women)
   - 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight
   - between 10% and 35% of calories should come from protein

   I wouldn't worry too much unless you notice symptoms of protein deficiency.

   And consider that any guidance talking about generic "protein" is a simplification: there are 9 essential amino acids, and so we must also vary our diet.

     I made an account at cronometer to check if I get enough nutrients in my #vegan diet. Today I have to say, I ate really well and I still have only 45% of the recommended protein.
     The protein I had was vegan Bratwurst and a bit each from soy milk, nuts, quinoa, oats. I might have to just take protein powder on days I eat no beans.

     I'm supplementing b12 but as fortified soy milk is not available atm, I should also take calcium.
