Sport Should I even count protein that isn't from meat/whey etc.?

[Iwillgetripped]

I get around 150-175g of protein per day now (I am 152 lbs.)

48g from whey
18g from egg whites
estimation of 30-50g from lean meat

So around 100g of protein a day for me comes from very strong sources, the rest of the protein is from other sources I heard were weak and not as helpful as the ones I listed above...these sources being brown rice, non fat milk, natural peanut butter etc.

I now ask...does the "1g per lb. of body weight" only mean "1g of strong protein per lb. of body weight" or is other protein ok to be included to reach that goal?

So, am I basically only getting 100g of useful protein while the other 50-75g are wasted?

A gram of protein is a gram of protein. There is no "strong" or "weak" proteins, rather, there is a time for fast and slow digesting proteins, but protein is protein bro.

I'm not sure what you mean by good and bad proteins.

but...

Proteins from plant sources don't have all the essential amino acids (incomplete proteins), such as lysine. While proteins from animals have all the proteins that you need (complete proteins)

I'm pretty sure you're getting adequate amounts of essential amino acids if you're consuming 100g+ a day. The only problem would be if you got all your protein from plant sources. You should definetly count those sources.
