Answer 6

On average, the recommended protein intake for adults is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight. If you add intense weight training, this amount can climb to 1.2 - 1.6 grams per kg body weight. (To get your weight in kilograms, divided your weight in pounds by 2.2.) However, the regular consumption of protein in the U.S. exceeds the recommended daily amount for even body building needs, so most people don't need to add more protein-rich foods to their daily intake. You can keep track of what you eat over the course of a week or two to see if you need to add more protein to your diet and, if so, how much.

Keep in mind that you need to strength train in order to increase muscle — just eating more protein won't cut it.

Once you start a strength-training routine, you should eat an extra 500 or so calories each day in order to build muscle mass, even if you don't need to eat more protein. It's also important to take in enough carbohydrates: too few carbs will mean that your muscles won't have adequate fuel, so you may easily feel tired or weak from exercise.

Examples of plant protein combinations to get complete proteins include beans and rice; peanut butter and bread; and tofu, stir-fried vegetables, and rice. Soy protein is complete by itself. As a general rule, legumes with grains and nuts with grains provide you with the complete array of amino acids.

You really don't have anything to worry about.  I just started working out and there doesn't seem to be any problems.  Just check ingredients for protein.
