Dear Rohan satish padharia,

Thank you for your question.

Protein is an important component of your daily balanced diet. Some of the functions of protein are

Growth and Maintenance- Protein is required for the growth and maintenance of tissues
Enzymes are proteins that aid the thousands of biochemical reactions that take place within and outside cells. Bodily functions that depend on enzymes include Digestion, Energy production, Blood clotting, Muscle contraction
Proteins act as a buffer system, helping your body maintain proper pH values of the blood and other bodily fluids.
Proteins in the blood maintain the fluid balance between your blood and the surrounding tissues.
Proteins form antibodies to protect your body from foreign invaders, such as disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
Some proteins transport nutrients throughout your entire body, while others store them.
Protein can serve as a valuable energy source but only in situations of fasting, exhaustive exercise or inadequate calorie intake.

Recommended daily allowance for adult sedentary man is 54g per day

Here are some vegetarian sources of protein

Legumes: lentils, beans (chickpeas, kidney, mung, pinto etc.), peas (green, split, etc.), soybeans (and products made from soy: tofu, tempeh, etc.), peanuts.

Nuts and Seeds: almonds, pistachios, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, hemp seeds, squash and pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds.
Whole Grains: wheat, quinoa, rice, wild rice, millet, oats, buckwheat,
Other: while many vegetables and fruits contain some level of protein, it’s generally in smaller amounts than the other plant-based foods. Some examples with higher protein quantities include corn, broccoli, asparagus, brussels sprouts, and artichokes.
