I find a huge variation in daily recommended protein intake when I search online and it is quite frustrating. I am going to the gym regularly and trying to build muscle so this has recently become important to me as I don't want to accidentally have a protein deficiency. Currently I use a protein powder and eat a lot of beans and lentils. I usually get 60g at least and I get the full spectrum of amino acids from other parts of my diet. I just do not believe I need double this as is currently recommended by the US government.

Anyone have studies on this? Recommendations for bodybuilding while vegan?

Nuts just have so much fat and I have zero self control regarding how much of them I eat. I fucking love nuts but I can't have large quantities of them in the house.

Also they are expensive

Yea nuts are a bit expensive. Even 20g a day is enough to get health benefits.

I binge eat them too. For example I eat 300-700g a day of nuts like walnuts over 3-4 days. And then don't buy them again for a month or two.

Not a very disciplined way of eating but I do feel healthier and stronger than not having nuts in my diet.
