Beans and lentils are your friend.
I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.
This may be a vegan-specific problem.

Lemmy needs to know the difference between protein and amino acids in diet. All plants are protein.

They have protein but they’re mostly composed of complex carbs like starch, fiber, and cellulose. Their actual protein content varies but in general it’s much lower than legumes
If you’re vegetarian or vegan and don’t eat legumes, then you’re probably not getting enough protein.

If I may ask, what is your target grams per day of protein?

According to this calculator I should be eating 53g protein per day.

It says I should be eating between 67 and 200+ g of protein, because of how much I exercise it should probably be like 150+ and I’m definitely not eating enough protein.

It’s not a vegan problem. It’s a food selection problem.
I’m vegan and I eat plenty of protein. More than most non vegans
