Eat an inconvenient amount of protein, it’s also good for you.
No. You just shit it out. Your gut can only absorb so much protein in a day. Even if you only eat potatoes or rice, if you are meeting your caloric needs, you will automatically be meeting your protein needs. Meanwhile, animal protein is associated with very serious health issues.
And of course the facts that you have known all along but choose not to connect with emotionally: that the experiences of animals are real and matter.
If you’re trying to get fit and build muscle, eating more protein will help with that. 1.5-2g per kg is a pretty commonly recommended target for stimulating muscle growth.

I’ll point out that if you don’t use it to build muscle, protein is also an energy source. You won’t shit it out, you’ll burn it or store it as fat.
Finally, there are plenty of good veggie sources of protein; I’m not advocating for eating more meat!
