Protein Percentage of grams per day question Topic

If I get within 20 grams “less” of protein per day than is recommended, is that okay? I eat predominantly veggies, fruits, and a small amount of legumes but don’t really care for the way I feel with rice or pasta unless the pasta is an alternative that is higher in protein. And I do like brown rice. So I do pick up protein when I eat these but I don’t eat them often.

I am more interested in a Whole Foods Plant Based approach but I do eat a minimal amount of protein with hope as I drop weight I can safely go off all animal protein.

So my bottom line question is, how important is it if I am at least getting “within 20 grams” of the recommended amount of protein grams per day?

Example recommended grams of protein 70 grams and I take in say 45 to 50 grams from fruits, veggies, nut milk, eggs or small amounts of meat.

Any tips or advice appreciated. (•= TIA
