There are thousands of proteins in the human body. They are constructed from amino acids. Humans can synthesis most requires amino acids but 9 of them must be obtained in the diet: histidine, leucine, lysine, isoleucine, methionine, trytophan, phenylalanine, threonine, valine.
Each of these is required for manufacturing different (though intersecting) sets of proteins. Each has a separate recommended daily intake. Because there is some redundancy in the functions of some of the proteins in the human body, the requirements are somewhat interactive: a deficiency in one AA can partly be made up for by excess intake in others, but a lack of any one of them will result in death.
2 to 3 months without protein will result in death.

The recommended intake for adults varies a bit with various factors but it’s broadly in the vicinity of 0.75 g per kg body mass. Different agencies give different numbers but it’s always somewhere around there. (Some sources prefer to give the figure of 1.2 g per kg lean body mass, since added a bunch of excess fat to a body doesn’t increase the protein requirement linearly. )

Protein deficiency in children has life long irreparable effects including stunted growth, incomplete brain development, and sensory and immune issues etc.

In adults, the effects are often reversible, unless you’re dead I suppose. They include immune deficiency, poor recovery from fractures, muscle mass loss (duh), edema, fatigue and lethargy, loss of mental acuity (brain fog) and irritability, enlarged liver.

Protein deficiency is very rare in Australia, where most people consume protein far beyond RDI.
Even among Australian vegans (see below), average protein intake was 81 g per day for men and 54 g per day for women: certainly a bit below the averages for Australian omnomnomnivores but still above RDI.

If you’re a dude of average Australian height with moderate activity your requirement might be around 68 g and it is surprisingly easy to get this on a vegan diet. Morning cup of muesli 10 g, with a cup of soy milk on it 3 g. Lunchtime bowl of chili beans, 18 g. Serving of fried tempeh and vegetables 27 g. That leaves 10 g to be obtained from any drinks or fruit/veg, snacks, sides etc. There’s a bit of protein in all foods.

I think you might be underestimating your protein intake. If it is not too much of an intrusion, could you give us a rough accounting of your daily eats and drinks?

I don’t eat museli, I don’t eat any breakfast generally, only a couple of cups of coffee.
I only use milk in coffee.
I don’t drink or use soy milk.
I’ve never eaten chilli beans on purpose. Except maybe something similar at an Indian restaurant about three times a year.
I don’t eat tempeh and can’t stand tofu. I eat maybe six eggs a year.

I do eat fruit and I do eat beans but mostly unadorned. Like with gren beans maybe a bit of butter and garlic at best.
I do eat fruit and nuts and grains along with vegetables.

Probably the steak and eggs I eat comes from Coopers top fermented ale(because the yeast is still in the bottle).

My eating of nuts is limited in that one can only eat so many nuts as most of them contain little or no fibre and I’m nont fond of constipation.

You’re deliberately missing the point, which is that pretty much all plant food contains protein. But that’s okay, we know you work harder and eat less than anyone else here.

I do eat a fair amount of cheese but again it is only a couple of thin slices off the block on one or two slices of bread.
I can make ricotta the peasant’s way but I’m not overly fond of it and never buy that much milk in one go.

However, as Alex asked, I should probably do a dietary calendar of what I eat and when. Because I am still reasonably sue that I don’t eat anywhere near enough of it to meet the standards.

I still think my statement stands because there is nil consistency in attempting to attain a level on any particular day. I didn’t actually say what I do consume and I’m still very sceptical about how much I eat.

So you’ve never bothered to count the proteins but you somehow know you wouldn’t have consumed 60gms per day for decades, and you’ve never lacked protein even though fewer than 60gm a day for decades is insufficient protein. OK.

Writing down what you eat every day for a week or so can be a valuable exercise. Totting up the calories or protein or linking up symptoms to different foods can be very revealing.

My brother’s diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and heart disease prompted him to make radical changes to his diet and exercise. He reversed both problems and now feels the best he has ever felt.
I always thought he would never do it as he was very fond of sugary treats, alcohol and chocolate. Just having a dietician mum is not enough, you actually have to follow the advice. Funny that.

Add another banana and three mixed grain rice crisp cookies. The flax seed cannot be digested unless ground up and this doesn’t occur where the grain is in beads or biscuits. If I want flax seed I put the ground meal in my homemade breads. Add another cup of coffee. All this after a brisk walk of a couple of kilometres.

Australian Sparkling Ale

Characteristic Ingredients

Lightly kilned Australian 2-row pale malt, lager varieties may be used. Small amounts of crystal malt for color adjustment only. Modern examples use no adjuncts, cane sugar for priming only. Historical examples using 45% 2 row, 30% higher protein malt (6 row) would use around 25% sugar to dilute the nitrogen content. Traditionally used Australian hops, Cluster, and Goldings until replaced from mid-1960s by Pride of Ringwood. Highly attenuative Burton-type yeast (Australian-type strain typical). Variable water profile, typically with low carbonate and moderate sulfate.

Made a nice soup this eve because I’ve got too much broccoli, zucchini, beans and potatoes, I put a couple of spuds and one of the bigger ronde zucchini, some green beans and broccoli, leek and garlic all from the garden. A stock cube and slowly mashed up a bit by hand when it got soft enough do it was soupy but also still some lumps to chew.
Verdict; very nice and I didn’t even put any herbs in.

Looks good. I’d add one to my Coles order (which can still be modified until 1am tonight) but their specials change today, so all the specials I’ve scored on the order would be lost (including such deals as $7.50 off another batch of drain cleaner).

I usually get it at coles but I think woollies has it too. There is another one that’s similar, I get whichever is cheaper. And there’s also a sourdough that’s nice. I think they might do buns too.

Looks good. I’d add one to my Coles order (which can still be modified until 1am tonight) but their specials change today, so all the specials I’ve scored on the order would be lost (including such deals as $7.50 off another batch of drain cleaner).

You should try it at some stage. Protein is better than carbs for satiety.

That’s my general policy.

I’ll be reminded by the Ryvita in my saved list in Metapad.

I continually open and modify the same order.

:) Oh indeed there must be a secret.

Last night I had a bowl of apple crumble. Approx 1/4 of a Nanna’s apple crumble and a small chunk of plum pudding with a couple of spoons of Bulla ice cream.

The conclusion from the Bath Breakfast Project?

Breakfast may or may not be the most important meal of the day, but it is certainly an important meal to investigate further.

Yesterday arvo evening, I had one toasyed cheese and tomato on afore mentioned bread. Later, had six ricotta and spinach triangles. Shortly after was invited to a neighbourly person to eat two cobs of corn roasted on hot coals. Had three sparkling ales.
