How many grams of protein do you eat each day? (lemmygrad.ml)

Had a talk today with a guy who was sort of offended for some reason about me not eating animal products and lifting weight. He said I'd never get enough protein (never heard that one before!!!). Because lentils aren't a thing in a world of steaks.

Anyway he said that you need at least 200 grams of protein each day when you lift but that's of course nonsense. Not saying you shouldn't do it, but you don't need to either.

I'm averaging around 110-140 grams a day and I'm doing fine at +-80kg body weight.

between 120 and 160 at 72kgs, honestly you can still get results as long as you eat SOME of it. Most of my growth happened when i wasn't tracking macros and consuming way less of it
