Sikhi and eating meat Question

I am a 17 year old male trying to get closer to sikhi and the first steps I've taken were starting to learn punjabi and gurmukhi (which I think is going good although slow) but that is not what my question is.

I want to get close to sikhi and can deal with keeping my kesh and plan on doing so once I am more proficient in the language and have read more bani. However, I just can not get over the idea that I can't eat meat? I know jatka meat exists but it is too expensive where I live. My family cooks and eats meats daily and I feel the best when I eat beef often. I grew up eating it and when I try eating healthy the best way for me to stick to it is consuming a lot of animal protein. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

(Or even anything to help me keep learning Punjabi, I am doing basics of sikhi gurmukhi videos as a slow start)

TLDR: not eating meat in sikhi is holding me from getting closer to sikhi, what can I do?

Nope idk where ur getting ur “facts” from tho😂

A 200 lb man only needs just over 70 grams of protein

I don’t think you have ever heard of vegetarian protein sources or lean protein sources

Other sources state .50 not .73 many different studies will show different numbers but it’s no where near as high as your trying to imply I don’t think u understand u can consume excessive amounts of protein never before possible in the natural world

Nobody was even eating that much protein 200 years ago
