Protein: Do we need more - or less?

[JAS9]

I've heard this argued both ways. Currently, I'm of the opinion that we can do without as much as most people think, which will help with getting levodopa into the brain. This video, made by a doctor that I trust, discusses the studies: youtu.be/7NW32vLq340(Not working as expected?)

Yes, we need about half of what we consume. I've read about this before. I don't think the video mentions it but consuming too much protein can overwork your liver. Do you know if eggs are still considered to be the best source? How can I calculate how much protein I'm eating?

No nononono and no!

Eggs and meat are about the worst way for you to get good protein!

Plant protein is MUCH better for you! Another video: youtu.be/lfmzK7G2L08(Not working as expected?)

But it doesn’t taste as good

[JAS9 in reply to Nitro53]

Then why do you have to put plant stuff - spices, ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, onions, etc - on your meat? Seriously, this vegan food is fantastic. You haven't tasted my vegan chili or my wife's shepherds pie. I'm eating some right now. Yummmm!
