It is of my opinion and many others that trying to "get enough protein" is an old school, over rated worry that many people have. As long as your getting a wide variety of reasonable foods and are consuming an adequate amount of calories, the protein issue will take care of itself. You will be hard pressed to find doctors diagnosing patients with a legitimate medical protein deficiency.
