Honestly, if you are very active or are working out on a regular basis it can be difficult to get your recommended amount of protein according to your size. It’s not as difficult as getting your recommended amount of fiber, but can be pretty difficult especially if you have diet restrictions.
I don’t eat a lot of meat and I’m a fairly big and active dude. I think I’m supposed to get like 130-145g of protein a day, which I honestly can’t do without protein supplements. I usually do a pea protein shake in the morning and after a workout and I still don’t usually end up getting my recommended.
I think it matters more if you’re active and especially older. If I didn’t supplement my protein my recovery after workouts is pretty gnarly.
Im vegan and work a very physical job, and because of said physical job I don’t work out, I also walk everywhere and am generally on my feet at least 12 hours a day. I guess I also tend to eat relatively okay compared to most…I drink too much and smoke a pack a day so I kinda forget my diet is actually pretty decent.i just like rice and beans and veggies a lot anyway
