Yes.

We need a minimum of .8g of protein per kg per day. Divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 and multiply by .8.

It's not only about getting enough protein, but it's also about getting a good mixture of amino acids. Dairy, nuts, grains, eggs, soy, and legumes are all good sources. Quinoa is a grain that has a nice amino acid profile.
