To meet needs, you don’t need to force feed protein! You can get enough by eating a balanced diet.
Finding a balance is an important way to use nutrition to support your quality of life.
While it’s true that you have to eat plenty of plants, and you don’t have to eat meat in order to meet protein needs, most of us enjoy the flavor that meat, dairy and eggs bring to the plate.
It’s perfectly fine to include protein sources that are animal based in addition to plant based proteins.
Remember that it’s the overall pattern of eating that matters, rather an any individual foods you do or don’t eat.
