Generally speaking, vegetarians and vegans on a well-rounded diet do not find it necessary to keep track of their protein intake. Protein is in almost everything consumed, not just meat, and you would have to be trying very hard not to get enough of it.
The idea that you do not get enough protein as a vegetarian is a fabrication.
First you would need to determine how many calories you eat in a day. To maintain good health, you should consume approximately 20% of your daily caloric intake as protein. Each gram of protein contains 4 calories.
If you consume 2000 calories per day, 400 calories should be from protein, which would equate to 100 grams protein each day. If you are like me and lift weights, you may want to try to up that amount to build lean muscle and reduce body fat.
At least 50g - 65g of protein per day.
The same as a non-vegetarian. Numbers given will vary depending on who you ask. The protein demands of someone with higher than average muscle mass and energy expenditure from lots of Weightlifting, gymnastics, running, rowing, swimming and climbing is going to be higher.

Yes it does! Yes, protein has a recommended daily allowance. Protein is a very important factor for all living creatures - not just humans - but animals as well. The RDA for protein greatly differs depending on the weight of a person. As a general rule, you should take in 0.8 grams of protein per 1 kilogram of your weight. A rough guide for the recommended daily allowance of protein would be 9.1 - 13.5 grams for infants (0 - 12 months), 13 to 19 grams for children 1 to 8 years old. Older children will need around 34 to 35 grams protein per day, while male adults will need as much as 52 to 56 grams. Female adults need lesser at only 46 grams per day. Pregnant and lactating women need more protein, since they are eating for two. They will need as much as 71 grams per day of protein. Remember that animal products are the easiest and best sources of protein. You can get protein from lean meat, egg, fish and poultry. Vegetarians can also get their recommended daily allowance for protein from plant food items like beans, peas and nuts.
