it's all about genetics. I ate less than 30 grams of protein a day growing up and I am 6ft. Although, that's literal average height in my country.

You need at least 150 grams of protein a day. If you're vegan or vegetarian, take 1500 mg of leucine with each protein meal to increase the absorption.

Yeah.

Over

Pasture raised eggs and shell fish (some consider it vegetarian) are good sources of protein that don't require supplementation.
