I believe the minimum guidelines for most people are 50 grams per day. People who want to put on a good amount of muscle eat their body weight in grams of protein or more per day, for example, i weigh around 134-135lbs so if i wanted to "bulk up", which i dont, i would eat 135 grams of protein per day. I, however, try to aim for at least 70 grams and usually get between 80-90 grams/day. What helps me is drinking protein shakes (it's not just a guy thing), i have one every morning and it adds 24 grams of protein to my day, and only 110 calories with trace amounts of fat, sugar, and sodium. I use beverly international brand and its called "muscle provider". Since you are a vegetarian, protein shakes and bars are your best bet. That is unless you want to eat 13 servings of peanut butter every day and i dont recommend that. Also milk, milk has 8 grams per 8 oz. But i'm not a big fan of plain milk.
