This ranges from 0.25 g/lb body weight (World Health Organization) to 2 g/lb (some bodybuilding sites). The RDA for a normal person is somewhere close to 0.5 g/lb body weight.
Please don't consume excess protein unless you need it. If you are not a bodybuilder, the extra protein will be converted to fat and will also place stress on your kidneys.

Basically for a young person, normal intake of a balanced diet shoud suffice. But as one gets older, with changes in biological activities there will be an imbalance of chemicals in the body and some supplements may be needed to get back to balance!
If one is strictly vegetarian, there are many food items which can meet the daily requirements of protein, minerals and vitamins.
Anyway, consult a nutritionist for professional advice!

Its on the label on your can of beans , just do the math..
meats are complete proteins, when it comes to fruits and veggies you would need a combinations to make up for a complete protein, Eggs are also a complete protein

beans, like kidney beans and stuff have alot of protein, not sure if vegans can have those. and really there is no set amount of protein a person should have.. it differs from person to person just like everything else.

Protein requirements depend on age and gender. If you are an athlete, they are higher. Beans, whole grains and nuts are excellent sources.
