I do not have to believe anything. I have read The Okinawa Program book
written by the Okinawan centenarian study lead scientists (Willcox, Willcox
& Suzuki). The book is based on their studies. They know what the diet of
the Okinawan centenarians looks like. These Okinawan centenarians eat less
than *2*% meat, eggs and dairy daily (pork is consumed mainly in
festivities) - very little. Tofu and fish each account 11-12% of the diet
(page 71). These amounts are by weight. Read the book and you'll know more.

I have read about the macronutrient composition of vegetarians in general,
but I did not find any specific data about protein intake of SDA's from
Medline. However, in the guidelines on the site below SDA's are guided to
keep their protein intake between 10 and 15 percent of energy. That would
denote adequate but quite low protein intake.
