I do know that the only bad result of drinking beer (or at least what I personally consider bad) is that it saps the body of the Bs, especially B12. I was B12 anemic before I started drinking more regularly and the drink certainly doesn't help. I sometimes take B12 vitamins to counteract it.
Besides veggie-burgers, what does your OM use for protein? Doesn't peanut butter have protein in it?

Peanut butter is high in protein, but it's also high in saturated fat.
I ran the statistics for a woman weighing 130 through a health calculator which spit back that your daily requirement for protein would be 43.55g.
The OM gets the bulk of his protein from dairy sources (cheese and milk) and from veggie burgers, dogs, crumbles, sausages, etc. His protein requirements are rather high given his athletic pursuits, so he also uses a recovery drink that has protein.
I live in the Zone, so I balance protein, carbs, and fats. I often toss wholefoods protein powder into applesauce or over baked berries, to make sure I am getting enough protein.
