Answer 3

You always need protein for your body to function properly. It is recommended that the average body needs about .8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. You can find this out by dividing your weight in pounds by 2.2, and then multiplying that number by .8. That is how many grams of protein you should consume in a day.

example: weight is 120 pounds

120/2.2 = 54.5 kg

54.5kg x .8= 43.6 grams of protein a day

According to the American Heart Association, nobody. Their recommendation on protein is as follows:

You don’t need to eat foods from animals to have enough protein in your diet. Plant proteins alone can provide enough of the essential and non-essential amino acids, as long as sources of dietary protein are varied and caloric intake is high enough to meet energy needs. Whole grains, legumes, vegetables, seeds and nuts all contain both essential and non-essential amino acids. You don’t need to consciously combine these foods (“complementary proteins”) within a given meal.
