Vegetarians eat less protein???

would you say its true that vegetarians eat less protein than meat eater??

Vegans should not worry about getting enough protein; if you eat a reasonably varied diet and ingest sufficient calories, you will undoubtedly get enough protein. Protein deficiency, or “kwashiorkor,” is very rare in the U.S. and is usually diagnosed in people living in countries suffering from famine.

You need .45 grams of protein for every pound you weigh. I doubt you weigh more than 400 pounds. According to the amount of protein you claim you need you would have to be.

Some do. Some don’t. The criteria is too general. A vegetarian diet can be heavy in protein and a meat diet may include protein sparingly if the person eats meat sparingly. There would need to be more details of the specific diet to be able to evaluate the protein comparison.

Maybe, maybe not. The average hamburger has 20g of protein. However, a serving of lentils has 30g
